Arpeggios: Guitar Fretboard View

An arpeggio is a chord you play one note at a time — and that changes what you need to know about it.

A chord grip tells you where six strings go at once. An arpeggio has to tell you where every note of that chord lives under your hand, including the ones no grip can reach without letting go of the others.

So these are the same chords as the rest of the series and none of the same diagrams.

What is in it

• Eleven chord types — major, minor, diminished and augmented triads, then major 7th, dominant 7th, minor 7th, half-diminished, diminished 7th, minor-major 7th and augmented major 7th. • Twelve keys each, chromatically, drawn at the fret each position actually starts on rather than slid down to the nut. • Every position of every one, anchored on each chord tone in turn, low to high — so the last is the first an octave up and the neck closes back on itself. • One climb per chapter, in tab: the whole arpeggio as a single ascending line, each pitch placed exactly once. • The whole neck first, nut to twelfth fret, with note names and chord degrees on every dot.

The number inside the dot is the whole idea. A 3 is a third wherever it appears, so a shape learned in C is a shape you have in all twelve — and with all twelve already drawn, the transposing is done and what is left is choosing which note to land on.

Symmetric chords are printed in every key on purpose. An augmented triad repeats every four frets and a diminished 7th every three, so the dots land in the same places — but the root does not, and which note is home is exactly what you need when the chord goes past under a solo. Each of those chapters names the other keys its shape also draws.

130 chapters across eleven chord types and twelve keys, standard tuning.

For lead players, for anyone learning to play the changes instead of the key, and for the moment a chart says C#m7b5 and the fretboard says nothing back.
