now I understand that one scene in Good Will Hunting (or it may have been Beautiful Minds) where two mathematicians are drooling over some equation or theory and enthusing about how "elegant" it was (I think that was the word used) because of how "simply" it was written down. This is probably the kind of thing they were talking about - only miles more nerdy, obviously. Thanks, Chris for another approach-changing insight!

I've never considered playing arpeggios like that. Mine have always been based on chord shapes, and playing each note in the shape, sometimes string skipping, other times not, until the next chord shape comes along. Only rarely does more than one note per string come into it - think Pink Floyd's 'Is There Anybody Out There' for example. Nice work, I'll need to give it a go and see if I can get my left hand freed up a little.

Just shaking my head… At how SIMPLE, yet powerful, this arpeggio idea is! Love this! This, along with the “Root In The Middle” idea, is helping me cure my tendency to “bottom out” or “top off”at the root note. Just put the 7th degree before the root and play 2 notes per string… GENIUS!

Connecting two strings is our building block, if you can connect two strings you can connect all strings. If you can start from the 3rd, 5th, 7th, then you can find that arpeggio anywhere in the fretboard. This is a great lesson to apply to improvisation right away, you can go from a pentatonic to an arpeggio with this technique effortlessly. This is the right way to learn (or better yet re-learn), Thank you so much.

Great idea to approach 7th arpeggios this way. My mind now turns to ways to use this approach in an improvisation context. Have you ever done a video on that, e.g. playing two string arpeggios for all chords in a progression (a) in one area of the neck, (b) moving positions for each chord in the progression? Not that a solo is based solely on arpeggios but as a foundation for soloing to outline the chords.

@cathalwhelehan

three notes or triads won't give you the 2 notes-per-string you need to simplify the picking. To create four-note sequences from triads will mean you're going to have massive interval jumps on one or both strings so they won't be particularly useful to learn as they're not going to be especially practical in an actual playing situation. At any rate, the 3 notes you want to learn are included in the 4-part chord so why not just learn the 4-part ones?

Or is this like an inversion arpeggio? Thankyou
