One shape for all guitar arpeggios: Pure Magic!

[@RLDWEBER]

The flow of the video, speaking, and musical examples is unmatched in quality and ease of following along

[@QJamTracks]

Thank you Randy for your nice comment :)

[@WorldvsTruth]

Indeed. And the Dutch accent adds the cherry on top.

[@LarryWPope]

I can’t express my gratitude enough for your excellent skills in patient, simple tutorials and FANTASTIC GRAPHIC ARTS! Other tutorials have offered the same truths yet you took the time to make a visual aide. I am a visual learner so I can take a snap shot of your visuals and store them for a refresher when I need a reminder. I am 67 years old and only in the last two months have I learned to play the guitar to a level that pleases my ear and heart. I have been trying since age 15! Yet you are the only one that has helped me sound better than an 8 year old. Thanks again for taking the time to “teach an old dog new tricks”.

[@jimk8979]

These are some of the clearest, and best guitar lessons online. Well done!

[@QJamTracks]

Thank you James!

[@CaliRaftDude]

A thumbs up for having the creativity to make sure the 'backing music' actually applied to the material being covered... bravo. Great idea too!

[@DC-ei9vl]

Clear and to the point without unnecessary rambling to extend the video. Extremely well done!

[@QJamTracks]

Thank you D C !

[@BBB-nz4hf]

You are a great teacher your graphics are beautiful and easy to read I have learned so much from watching your program I have seen thousands of videos yours is number one

[@mellowjim]

Knowing the 3, 5, and 7 interval positions in relation to the tonic is very helpful.

[@QJamTracks]

Indeed MellowJim!

[@omarsharif927]

Best tutorial on this.

[@nerad1994]

Now this I can remember. Memorizing all the other positions of all arpeggios is daunting to say the least

[@WinItReigns]

You got this 😊

[@jeanenviedapprendre]

I would combine the triad shapes with the perspective that extended chords (like 7s) are adding thirds above the base triad. Example: a major triad (C E G) has a major third (C E) below a minor third (E G). Cmaj7 (C E G B) adds a major third on top (G B). Changing the higher interval to a minor third (C E G Bb) would create a dominant chord C7. So I'm combining intervals to create a huge variety of chords. For the arpeggios in this video there are only two intervals: major and minor thirds. Memorize finding M3 or m3 on the same string or adjacent string. Mix and match for major, minor, diminished, augmented, 7ths, 9ths, 11ths, or 13ths.

[@QJamTracks]

Yes that's a good idea of course. I did this those things in separate videos: Building Chords part 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d33Uc6OKf9d2qbM Building Chords part 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6LFnWCCaN6XjqM Modal Arpeggios Part 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqHFn3WqoNCqqLc Modal Arpeggios Part 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJaUc61urNKUjK8

[@fattyz1]

Building chords part 1 thx this is exactly what I wanted I hope

[@andypearce5537]

Thank you. This makes more sense to me than anything I've heard on he subject.

[@willpalmer989]

Rob literally gives you the keys to the Ferrari! Great lessons.

[@fernandomancilla947]

Awesome and cristal clear explanation

[@felixarmandoocampoluces1941]

Why was I missing this content? You teach in ways that can be applied immediately. You make theory make sense, thank you so much!

[@cameronpatrickscott]

Excellent that was cool man, thanks.

[@superzombie6024]

Wow, I wish I had something like this when I was first learning guitar, great work!!

[@redpillpusher]

best explanation of arps I've run into yet and I watched a lot of other ones over the past few months.

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks Ian!

[@karstux]

I'm a huge fan of useful simplifications. This is a great way to construct arpeggios.

[@emmahillstv]

Nice tutorial still watching this video in 19th May 2022

[@GuitarDudeOfficial]

These videos are so good!!!!

[@balbino4]

Thank you very much! Very very very very good!

[@epifaniocortez]

This is the best channel i've seen on teaching music theory

[@DragisaBoca]

An absolutely brilliant approach... I would never think to start from the 7th but yes, this solves so much!

[@QJamTracks]

Glad I could help you Dragisa :)

[@xhibitionism]

The best way to describe, thank you.

[@delusionwalker8852]

Jaw droped how simple and elegant your explanetion is. Without knowing all this years I have been using few of this shapes without understanding what I was doing but now thanks to your video it's like a blanket was taken off my eyes. Thank you !

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks for your comment!

[@paulzottola5534]

Very cool. Will try this tomorrow. Thanks for posting.

[@josericardosotoaraya6454]

Awesome! Best explanation on internet! Keep it up!

[@Juan0003]

Fan-F'n-Tastic!!! I've been looking for this information for a long time!

[@krishantha1984]

glad that i found this lesson, its great!!

[@20thisisme]

Thanks a lot man - woah. I been trying to memorize all the major arpeggios by memory. In the major key. Your ascending pattern made it all click. easy mode

[@3556Heisenberg]

Fantastic lesson thank you!

[@thomasmartinscott]

Very clearly and understandably Presented. Thank You!

[@ChinqMiau1]

Top quality content here, easy to follow, super clear explanation. What you get that others don't that many people need visual representation of the subject as you talking thru it. You absolutely nailed it.

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks!!

[@masterbuilder3166]

These lessons are alway A💯. Solid teaching. My music has gained so much in a very short period of time because of these excellent tutorials. Thank you so much 👍🎸

[@walerider]

Good teacher! clear and useful, shapes for the eye and examples for the ear. Best!

[@otterhopper]

I like how by starting on the 7th note (for the arpeggio progression) rather than starting on the root you made a two-string repeatable pattern which requires less of a stretch between fingers. If you start the two-string arpeggio pattern on the root instead, then for some of these arpeggio shapes yo have to span 5 frets which is a bit of a stretch particularly if you're on the low frets. Great idea!

[@charlesmerfeld2988]

This going to make me sound great thanks.

[@mustafatalat1673]

Man this changed my life and made all the arpeggios chaos looks simple and finally knows every single arpeggio thank you so much 🥰 🙏 🙌 ❤

[@khalidboussif8850]

Great

[@grinpick]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that at 7:46 the graphic showing Cm7b5 and Cdim7 has the two reversed. I did not read all the earlier comments, so maybe this has already been pointed out.

[@QJamTracks]

You're right. They are reversed...

[@daspinaki7]

Very helpful &innovative style,easy to understand & never think that erpeggio can play like this..Thank you so much.Waiting for your's next lesson.thanks again

[@QJamTracks]

Thank you Pinaki!

[@dougp2917]

Great! Now tackling the approach to playing triad arpeggio pairs over a chord becomes - much clearer. Thank You!

[@QJamTracks]

Nice to see it's usefull!

[@andrerihani]

Hi Thanks for all the tutoriels. Cristal clean, understandable ans very well made. Theory is greatly explained ans the illustrations are just what is needed. Great thanks for the job, hope everyone will benefit of it.

[@machsolid6402]

I am not sure which direction to go in. I feel like I should learn chords but to play what ? I know the major and minor arpeggios and I’m getting them under my fingers up and down the neck. This memorization I feel has to be total. The chord charts are massive as you know and I confess I don’t even like jazz or want to play it. My fingerpicking is fairly strong. Your videos are next level lol. The difference is quite obvious, I’m glad the algorithm finally brought you to my feed . I’m scanning your library today . Thank you.

[@michaelsmusic3532]

Thank you for sharing all your hard work, I sincerely appreciate you :)

[@sanjeevjalui1185]

Wonderful teaching for slow learner's like myself 🙏

[@md.mainulhaqueazad5105]

Very concise but details description on arpeggios formation, Loved it Sir,

[@mlite84]

Another amazing lesson. Thank you 🙏

[@rajeevkumria]

Thanks a lot for this lesson. This was a major obstacle and your have simplified it so beautifully. Thank you again.

[@QJamTracks]

It was my pleasure Rajeev :)

[@flavy1000]

Crystal clear, 100/100---thanks a lot!

[@dayjeenhomeschool1369]

Thank you, Q, your guitar lesson it is so well demonstrated and well explained. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

[@tony11950000]

Finally found a one-stop learning channel, it's all I want in here. thank you man.

[@DeeDeeBaxter]

By far the easiest, clearest arpeggio lesson for beginners on youtube :) Absolutely perfect, congrats :)

[@gedinchristian603]

Very interesting and helpfull. I'm waiting for #5 arpeggios for Jazz. Thank you.

[@INDRAMRD]

All vdeo that i watched in youtube,, this is crystal clear,Simple and easy to underatand,,Thank you

[@QJamTracks]

Thank you!

[@storysofar7426]

Found an error in his chart patterns at approximately 7:31 in this video... the chart patterns for the Cm7b5 & Cdim7 should be swapped for each other... hope this makes sense the way I explained it...simple error...but I noticed it right away...just look back a few seconds before 7:31 and you will see! Just trying to help...someone may have already commented, I did no search the comments... thanks...

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks for pointing that out to me. They are switched indeed and unfortunately...

[@semiclean]

Love theses ! I figured out how to play the minor and major arpegios this same way, with repeating patterns ! The good stuff with these patterns is they are still applicable on 8 string guitars ! Thank you so much for extending to 7ths chords !

[@christopherlord3441]

This is a good system for playing seventh chords (works even better on the bass) but it is worth mentioning that these are all 'drop 2' chords, starting from the seventh in the bass, and that a 'normal' seventh arpeggio still starts from the root note.

[@QJamTracks]

Yes for the bass guitar this works too of course. Good idea :) And yes, it's true. They are all drop 2 chords...

[@johnniecoyle3482]

Wow that is awesome ty for your time & effort

[@JC-xy3lm]

Wow! Found a gold mine! Very clear!

[@Emi_HQ-z8x]

Yess, this hit the spot, thanks

[@andrewksadventures]

Well done! Definitely much easier patterns to get around compared to the regular ones in most books. 👍 Cheers.

[@QBRX]

Great thank you!

[@michaeltrueblood2545]

Very helpful. Well explained. Thank you. Merry Christmas.

[@neilrobinson7615]

Great lesson thanks.

[@pedrazzinig]

Wonderful explanation, thank you !

[@avijitov5160]

Wonderful tutorial! I love it already.

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks!

[@johnmac8084]

Fantastic idea, thanks 😊

[@JSDJerry]

I like the explanation of the different kinds of 4 note arpeggios. But, playing a shape across two strings is difficult because of the stretch. IMHO, the 4 note shapes are just as easy to remember if played across 3 strings, and the stretch is much less. Using the shape given In the video, that would put with the 5th as the only note on the 3rd, or highest string. Also, within 12 frets, the root occurs 5 times, not 3. I realize this is a starting point for many guitar players, but playing an arpeggio from the same starting note as the lowest tone, like the 7th, is pretty limiting. All that said, I’ve found the best exercise is to learn first 7R35, then learn each inversion, e.g. R357, 357R, 57R3

[@QJamTracks]

You got a point there. But it's just (like you said) a starting point. A easy way to start of with 7 arpeggios for quick runs. It's just part of all the other (and in many cases better) ways to play arpeggios.

[@EclecticSceptic]

Nice lesson thanks.

[@coachp7486]

Thank you Rob ! Been watching and re-watching your Dreamy Lydian, Pentatonic Q n E and your Superimposing vids .. PLUS writint notes ! Your videos are sooo good. You should do a quick vid on your studio and gear ! I’m sure lots would love to see it/them. Thx again Rob !

[@QJamTracks]

Thank you for your nice comment! :) Maybe I will do a video of the gear and the 'making of'...

[@arlingtonverzolladesouza2479]

Awesome lesson! Why complicate when something can be as simple as this!!!

[@derflegne4429]

Thank you for the instruction.

[@azzampulungan5007]

Thank you so much for this, I never thought about it until I saw your video. I like this 2 strings shape for reason that it give us consistent shape across every 2 strings.

[@QJamTracks]

You're welcome Azzam. It is indeed a convenient fingering :)

[@StevenPD]

Awesome channel. I really enjoy your content and sense of humour.

[@guitarwhisperer6262]

Brilliant,

[@jamestreanor4361]

Awesome lesson!!!

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks James!

[@johnmacmillan627]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@fernandomancilla947]

Thanks for sharing

[@xavvdb666]

Just for info, Cm7b5 and Cdim7 are inversed in last image of the presentation. Thank you for the lesson

[@QJamTracks]

Yes. I made a mistake there unfortunately...

[@ss123sr5]

Very nicely explained Thanks

[@raunokarmitsa164]

Nice lesson! Thanks! 7.33min the Cdim7 and Cm7b5 is mixed up....

[@storysofar7426]

I just commented on this, before I saw your comment!

[@rjbeckham4786]

Awesome....thanks bro...God bless u

[@davidsmithwick1293]

This is fantastic. Thanks!

[@VladoBelo]

thanx

[@adyrooster5174]

It should be useful also to see the “shape” 3578, so for example, taking into account CM7, instead of BCEG (7835) memorize the schema EGBC on each 2 set of strings. The only drawback I found in such type of chord shapes is that it’s really hard to articulate the jump from one set of 2 strings to another as long as the metronome goes up with the speed 😅.

[@voronOsphere]

Awesome!!! Very helpful! Thanks!!!!

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks!!

[@kc8923]

Really well explained, possibly even more within most guitarists range if you took out diminished chords maybe?

[@QJamTracks]

Hi KC. I wanted it to be complete. Maybe viewers can skip the dim chords .

[@HyperspeedMedia]

thank you

[@QJamTracks]

You're welcome :)

[@skinnygumbo9555]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@konarain]

Such great comments, I'll share it to big Facebook network Alohas

[@StarDarkAshes]

Great video and I love all the clear diagrams that you put on the screen. I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen one of your videos and I’m definitely going to subscribe. It would be cool if you could do follow up videos where you go back to this but instead of using this pattern you do the other variations or at least one per video so that when the diagrams come up on the screen it will show you a new way to do the arpeggio besides this way. I know this is the easiest way but it would be awesome to like get this down and then once you have this one down you can click on part two and you can watch that video to learn the other way you can do it. Thanks

[@QJamTracks]

At 7:40 the diagrams of Cm7b5 and Cdim7 are switched mistakenly.

[@udayanmustafi3963]

🎸

[@Stylish003LL]

This video blowed my mind about arpeggios but there a thing im wondering is that how can i sweep picking with the steep arpeggios pattern like that.

[@gregchambers6100]

What elegant solutions. Thank you so very much.

[@QJamTracks]

Hi Greg. Thanks!!

[@d.p.5874]

Thx for this trick which can be generalized to any kind of 2-strings progression, in my opinion. For information, in your last figure from 7:31 onwards, it appears that you swapped Cm7b5 and Cdim7.

[@QJamTracks]

Thank you. And yes those two diagrams are switched unfortunately...

[@klauswhitedreamer]

Very beautiful and clear guitar lesson, congratulations, I subscribed ! ♥️😽

[@danielbodin9388]

do you have a trick for A string root arpeggios?

[@QJamTracks]

Hi Daniel. The fingering for starting on the 5th string is a little less convenient. Best thing to project the same principle pointed out in the video on the 5th string root notes. It's still easy to work with, although starting on the 6th string makes it easier...

[@djmileski]

Very helpful

[@stax56]

Always helpful and insightful sir. You've help me alot in the past year! Thank you so much.

[@QJamTracks]

You're absolutely welcome Mr.Stax 👍
