Hey everyone, welcome back!<\/p>\n

Tab and video component to this lesson are below.<\/p>\n

In this lesson I attempt to demystify making the jump from knowing an arpeggio to actually using it.<\/p>\n

I find the best way to actually achieve this is to take licks you are already familiar with and then insert these arpeggios into these licks.\u00a0 I know it sounds easy, but there are many considerations, not the least of which is, what arpeggios go with what licks?\u00a0 Well, there is a simple method\u00a0 you can use that will almost always work and that is, if you are playing over a major triad or even major 7 chord, you can play the minor 7 arpeggio up a major 3rd (2 whole steps) and if you are playing over a minor triad or minor 7 chord you can play a major 7 arpeggio up a minor 3rd (1.5 steps).\u00a0 Of course there are other arpeggios that will work over these chords but start with this simple method to get you going.<\/p>\n

Memorize all your minor blues scales in one key (Am is perfectly good) and start coming up with blues licks around them and inserting the arpeggios I go through in this lesson and before you know it, you will be arping your life away!<\/p>\n

If this stuff is beyond your comprehension, lessons with a knowledgeable instructor (cough me cough) one on one\u00a0 may be in order. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Good\u00a0 luck and have fun!<\/p>\n
