Are you stuck running up and down the exact same pentatonic box patterns every time you try to take a guitar solo? If your lead playing sounds disconnected from the rhythm guitar underneath you, it's time to unlock arpeggios. Today, we are breaking down exactly what an arpeggio is in the absolute simplest terms possible. You will learn the hidden geometry of Major and Minor chord formulas, how to stack them across three full octaves, and how to instantly apply them to classic songs.
