A Beautiful Arpeggio Exercise for Guitar Technique and Music Theory

In Spanish guitar, we seem to be obsessed with arpeggios. We say the word all the time and spend hours and hours perfecting this right hand technique and learning new and interesting ways to develop our arpeggio acumen. 

While there is no shortage of arpeggio exercises, warm-ups, drills and studies out there, we don't always have to rely on something that has already been written. We can use a little bit of our music theory knowledge to come up with our own chord progressions that we can arpeggiate according to our own taste and our skill level.

In this guitar tutorial, I show you how we can see a scale and start plucking chords out of the scale, as I introduce two very important music theory concepts that will make your compositions more interesting. 

If arpeggio technique is of interest to you, or you need some help developing your arpeggios, check out this guitar lesson where I show you the classical guitar study I do every day.
