How to Play Guitar Like Eric Johnson - Arpeggios - Guitar Lessons

[ColtonSaylor713]

Wrong its actualy Open Triads

[transtremm]

Simple concept, excellent execution and insite!

[Nouakchott]

So the third is the last note and it´s octave higher? So D minor chord arpeggio is played D, A, and then F octave higher. Should I also practice D, F and then A octave higher?

How should I apply this to chords like Dm7? D, A,C, and then F one octave higher, or D, F, A and the C one octave higher. Both sound good for me but which one is more important to learn first?

Thanks for this tutorial.

Jesus Christ this is just so difficult to me! It's all so complicated!

[jakollee]

Nice lesson; however, I believe that the chord you're refering to as an F# diminished is more properly a D7 over F# bass (F# - C - A). An F# diminished chord would include a D# note (or E flat), which would sound wrong in this context.

[pluckylittlefellah]

@jakollee An F# diminished chord would NOT include an E flat. An added E flat creates F# diminished seventh. This is often improperly called diminished (even in many chord dictionaries!). However, F#, A and C form the diminished triad built on the seventh degree of the diatonic major scale of G. This is correctly called F# diminished. Adding E flat forms an F# diminished seventh. BTW, adding an E, as opposed to E flat, creates F#m7 flattened fifth, often called F# half-diminished seventh.

@pluckylittlefellah You wouldn't find a fully diminished 7th chord in a major key either, only half diminished as you said. But in a minor key the raised leading tone that's common in the harmonic minor creates a diminished triad with a diminished seventh above it, which it is normally a dominant five chord with out the raised 7th. It's has very unique cadential qualities that's very rare outside of classical music.

[pluckylittlefellah]

@rawrgDX I stated that F#, A & C form the diminished triad built on the 7th degree of G major, and that this is called F# diminished. I did NOT say a diminished 7th chord occurs in a major key, simply that adding E flat, jakollee's proposition, forms F# diminished 7th, not F# diminished. I was seeking to clarify. Introducing the subject of extended chords built on the harmonic minor will confuse if major key chord construction is not understood. MAJOR key triads is the focus of the video.

[jakollee]

@pluckylittlefellah OK, I yield to your superior knowledge of diminished chords! Nevertheless, in the series of ascending arpeggios you play in the video, it makes sense to me to think of the triad you're calling F# diminished (F#, C, A) as a D7 chord over F# in the bass, which then resolves to the G major. Anyway, I thought it was a nice lesson and thank you for educating me re: diminished chords vs. diminished 7th chords. I'm sure we can agree that Eric Johnson is amazing!

Cool! thank you!

[vickrdable]

I'm sorry but this video sounds boring. I'ma go to bed. JK hhahahaaha lol. Nice vid.

[freakguitar1]

Johnson uses the red jazz 3`s and he uses the old ones before they started using a different material.

[stratmanocaster]

@freakguitar1 Yes, I concur I have always seen Eric with the red ones, I think he prefers the old ones because he has said he prefers "smooth edges" on his picks for optimal tone.

[freakguitar1]

@stratmanocaster yep! but i think he complaint a lot because dunlop started using diff material :D sick Eric, he even hears differences with batteries in his stompboxes :DDDD

[DavidMackey11]

crap tone. haaa

[9erMatthew]

lol, Arpeggiated Arpeggios

[comeonmakemyday]

this vdo is excellent. Thanks

[rick39guitarist]

Is that a Godin Freeway model guitar?

[BradmanIII]

@rick39guitarist if u read the desciption, it said eric johnson special addition stratocaster

[ljguitar91]

@BradmanIII Trust me, that's not an Eric Johnson Strat.

[classiccarfanatic07]

@BradmanIII As far as I know, Eric Johnson used only Fender Stratocaster electric guitars and I'm pretty sure that's not Fender. It doesn't even look like a Fender Strat and the setup of the guitar on this video is completely different from a Fender Strat. Fender's classic Strats only had three single-coil pickups and on the American styles, they had four. No Fender looks like this one in the video. Sorry man, I'm just saying. Plus, I know this is an old conversation, but I had to comment.

[patchesmaiden]

@classiccarfanatic07 well Eric Johnson doesnt only play Fender strats hes played on Gibson SG's and crap aswell

[oxdpt99]

[tapeworm489]
