[TheTrancereligious5]

[rvprs22]

Simple, great tip to practice. Thanks.

[bluesingroove]

nice job on this one, dustin. i dig

[mattsworld12]

Great tip - never thought of doing the seconds and have been trying to learn arpeggio's seperately. Makes sense thanks

[fatcatinthecity]

Thanks for the lesson as I have been struggling with arpeggios for a couple of months now. Your suggestion of just hitting every second note of the scale or mode just made the whole thing way way easier for me.

[Delysid025]

ok seems I'm the only dumbass here.... what is this swung 8 note pattern? And hit every other note on the way up? By other, do you mean every second note?

[TheFunkify]

Swing is "da- ta da- ta", rather than straight "da da da da." 8th notes means one bar is da-ta da-ta da-ta da-ta. Yes, every 2nd note. Chords/ arpeggios are made by hitting every 2nd note from the scale eg 1, 3, 5, b7. Very cool way to get nice sounds and break out of scales a bit.

[necrosis90]

two eighth notes = (quarter note + eighth note)

Both occupy one beat

also think

50/50 = 66.67/33.33

That really was a very simple way of describing it, and clears up--as billysfender so appropriate put it--the confusion that so many so-called experts like to push into your head. Music really isn't that difficult if you learn just a LITTLE music (jazz) theory and put what you hear in your head and music played by the greats into practice. I heard another guitar teacher state that at the beginning of practice, after warm up, practice the stuff that you do NOT usually do...it's key to improving

[billysfender]

that cleared up years of confusion.thanks
