[@bestboy897]

this is the best lesson on improvising imo. arps are the best tool for soloing

[@markg2861]

Check out tim miller he has endless content on it

[@TheMeister74]

I came across your channel wonderfully by chance. I love arpeggios. After a five-year break from playing, I have found love for our beautiful instrument again. You are a very good teacher with great examples of scales and tablature. Simply explained. It couldn't be easier to learn the guitar. Excellent

[@QJamTracks]

Thank you!

[@steveelle2169]

Another great explanation of music theory and how to apply it. The best guitar channel IMHO.

[@QJamTracks]

Thank you!

[@jadeowenhamblyn4405]

Your pacing, the language used, graphics... everything so on point. Thanks for showing us how it's done man!

[@MusicheadRick]

He is Dutch like me, but when he speaks English the Dutch accent is almost absent.

[@HeadbangoO]

@@MusicheadRick If you play sheven chords, sure 😜 Just kidding, he's great.

[@QJamTracks]

;)

[@QJamTracks]

Dank je Rick :)

[@scottfriery9091]

Thank you! Much appreciated. I needed this course on arpeggios. You did well by removing all the muck from it. Simple and easy.

[@ЗоранПетров-й5н]

Excellent harmonization theory lesson!

[@django-unchained]

Nice with rapid pace and straight to point here. Helps hearing everything rapidly for the differences and we can always paus and go back :)

[@shakyj1221]

Well done. Constructive, practical and concise.

[@dayancakra1321]

Ok Johny Fontane, the Don would like to appreciate very much for the arpegios you have given him..😁

[@tonyrapa-tonyrapa]

Brilliant - thanks Rob.

[@Crabfather]

You provide us with really top notch stuff man, thank you for all your hard work.

[@komsanboonde2599]

Great lesson for improvisation.

[@BringerOfBloood]

What I am doing now for practice is the 2-5-1, but I do a tritone substitution playing Falt instead of B9 (with b5 and b9) - then you have nice "voice leading" and don't have the big position shift. And you practice one of the more weird shapes as well.

[@Ribs13]

Very nice, this was easy to follow and it made sense.

[@micheal4897]

"...in case you have a good memory, but it's short." I love your sense of humor!🤣

[@NavigateCareerDesignAdelaide]

Really terrific lesson, so clearly presented and easy to implement. And delivered with a good sense of humour! Thank you 😊

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks!

[@ruperterskin2117]

Cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@mountp1391]

Amazing video

[@ДмитрийСкородумов-щ7й]

Спасибо за ваш материал, очень качественный кантент, успехов и всех благ! ❤

[@adonislajara6955]

Awesome lesson as always

[@ericcasey7598]

Very helpful for learners like me

[@IshredGuitar]

Excellent! I transcribed these with picture diagrams in my lead guitar music theory notebook. I've been playing many of these for a few years now but never really knew exactly what I was playing. Now after studying them for a few minutes and writing them down I know what I'm playing! To absorb this for me I have to write them down and that way they become seated in my knowledge with recall memory. Would love to get a short backing track for the 12:51 section extended to around 1:30-2:30 minutes?

[@QJamTracks]

I'll see what I can do....

[@Veteran365]

Amazing

[@jameserenberger3425]

Fantastic!

[@amandae2211]

Very cool, love this, thanks.

[@JaneCounts]

That's crazy great sound your getting. Can we possibly get a gear breakdown?

[@QJamTracks]

For now: I'm using a Strandberg Prog NX guitar (mainly neck pickup) with a Fractal FM9 in which use the Bogner Extacy Amp and the Carvin Legacy (Legend Amp)

[@1337treats]

Is this a “fanned fretboard”?

[@luchomartinez432]

Sería bueno que añadan la traducción en Español. Gracias muy buen video.👍

[@LaCarotaStanca]

Perfect

[@Swybryd-Nation]

I prefer 1-3 (and 3-1!) cause they’re sweepable shapes that repeat in octave across the entire neck and are easy to remember.

[@lukeshawmusic]

Thanks for this awesome lesson! 🤟

[@martinrhodes1619]

This was great! But how do I purchase a PDF for this lesson? Thank you!

[@chemwizard5150]

I agree! Great lesson. I have to tell you that Rob's lessons are my favorite on KZbin. So where do we get hard copies or a pdf of this lesson with all the shapes, etc? Thanks!

[@QJamTracks]

Hi Martin. The PDF is available here: qjamtracks.myshopify.com/products/2-1-2-arpeggio-shapes

[@martinrhodes1619]

@@QJamTracks thank you!

[@ss_avsmt]

I know nothing about the music theory so I didn't understand anything. But I will memorise all the shapes and maybe someday when I do understand, I'll use them.

[@kukumuniu5658]

I would like to see video like this but with title Arpeggio Couterpoint :>

[@alissonburgers5329]

thank you for this gift on the day of your daughter's wedding

[@QJamTracks]

;)

[@donnydorfel]

Makes me wonder how many screenshots will be made with this video.

[@crashhamilton]

This is Tim Millers stuff. I’ll apologize if I’m wrong but I think it should be acknowledged…

[@QJamTracks]

Hi. Tim Miller is a great guitar player and has some great ideas for playing modal arpeggios in an unique way. What I describe here is not one them. The 2-1-2 approach is something that is used for a long time and you'll learn it in every standard guitar method and is used a lot by shredders these days. Tim Millers approach is different, unique and beautiful. He uses a 2-1 system often based on 9th and 4th wider intervals and sometimes wider stretched that he calls the 3-1 system very much pointed at modal playing. What I describe and what Tim Miller does has similarities of course, because both are arpeggios.

[@crashhamilton]

I think the google results and KZbin timeline of videos on the subject speaks for itself, but I’ll add that the first I heard of 2-1-2, and in fact the only time until a couple years later when people started mentioning it (and always at the same time Tim Miller), was 7 years ago. For historical context I was at Berklee in the early 90’s and have been a rabid jazz guitar fanatic since the 80’s.

[@michouharoliyk2050]

Tim Miller all the way. Virtuosos are everywhere these days. Genius is rare as ever

[@lifetimeactor6789]

Congratulations on your daugher's wedding. I owe you one!😅👍

[@QJamTracks]

:)

[@theswissmiss69]

A wedding?

[@elementsofphysicalreality]

I tune all 4ths. I use 2-1-1-1-2, 2-1-2-1, 2-2, 2-1-1-2-1-1-2, 3-1-3-1, all sorts of shapes and inversions. Not sure why 99.99999% of the rest of the guitar community tunes standard still.

[@QJamTracks]

Tuning in 4th has definitely advantages when playing scales and arpeggios. On the other hand it is less suited for chords shapes. The common assumption is that the standard tuning is best of both worlds...

[@darienmoncree3980]

I feel like Tim Miller should be mentioned.

[@QJamTracks]

Absolutely true! I was planning to imply his technique in this video, but it was getting too long so I left it out. But I will make an ode to his 2-1 and 2-2 system the near future.

[@crashhamilton]

No kidding

[@thegermantomoeser]

...burned flesh! 😂

[@kagenotatsumaki]

Why is everyone in the comments talking like Tim Miller created this? He didn't.

[@michaellee3522]

Don’t act like you created something. Give my boy Tim Miller credit.

[@QJamTracks]

Hi, I never said in the video it was mine and frankly I don't think anyone can claim creative ownership, because these shapes are as old as can be. I learned them between 1990 and 1995 on the academy and some of them are used in Jazz all the time. What does belong to Tim Miller's creative ownership is his remarkable modal approach with another kind of 2-1 and 3-1 fingerings for particular modal sounds and applications. This is another thing.

[@kkkkkkkk407]

great lesson
