Jazz Guitar Lesson: C Major 7 Arpeggio

[MstChief117]

I think it's kinda useful to know what a Major 7th is.You know the seventh note of a major scale??Yes that's your major 7th!

C major 7th:C-E-G-B(not flat,that would be a minor seventh).

I think a chord of this type it's more effective by adding a 9th and a sharp 11th

Fenocchi??? oooh, that's an unfortunate name. I'm sure that you know what Finocchio means in Italian slang.

Guy - the lessons are cool - love to see a vid of you letting loose over a backing track...whaddya say?

[bhuvansachdeva]

hey guy.. nice video and explanation .. thanks!

[dle777]

crazy form for the arpeggio...no need for all those stretches

[Vstrat0]

@dle777 if you stay in a single key that's true, kind of. Stretches are amazingly helpful when going to obscure keys and when jumping up or down the neck.

But mostly, no arpeggio is as smooth as one that uses this kind of stretch.

Watch any "shredder" whether jazz or rock - the faster they are the more likely they are to use this type of fingering.

the first 2 notes are the beginning from the simpson theme

[kerloom]

You are right, but The Simpsons is in C Lydian

[brokentoedspoon]

@kerloom Wheres the F fit in then?

[jmsbk12345]

Great lessons thanks Guy.

I would love a lesson on how to get that smooth double-time bebop lead guitar runs like Martino or Benson etc. I use hammer-ons and pull-offs but still not quite right yet. Are there any picking techniques we can use. Thanks, John

short, quick notes and some vibrato where it fits
