There are major arpeggios in all keys. We're going to be looking at A major. There are variations on the arpeggio, but the basic arpeggio form is just the root, third, and fifth. If we take the root, third, and fifth of the A major scale, we get this. Alright. The scale itself is this. Okay? So listen to how the notes just consist of the root, third, and fifth. That alone is called the triad. If we combine that with the next triad, an octave higher, we get a nice little two octave arpeggio. Okay? I can play this as a sweep, and it sounds like this. Another option is to start this on the 12th fret, the first finger. So now if I play these notes, I finger them like this. And now I can play an A up an octave. So that makes a nice little sweep pattern, for an A major arpeggio. If I put those together I can also play at the 5th fret, and this almost looks like an A major chord. It makes a nice sweep. If I put all of those together. One more option is to start this one from here, the 7th fret. So you have these all over the neck, but this is a good place to start for learning the A major arpeggio. I hope you've enjoyed this lesson.
