The Am7 arpeggio contains
the notes A, C, E, and G. The Am7 arpeggio is based on the 6th degree of
the C major scale. For that matter, the 6th degree of any major scale will
be a minor chord or arpeggio. If this information confuses you, please
study the material I've provided on the "Music Theory" page.
Listen to an Am7 chord while
you play the arpeggio and you will see (actually you will hear) that the
arpeggio sounds very "in tune" with the chord, which also contains the
notes A, C, E, and G. Experiment with playing the notes "out of order"
to create melodies. |

Am7 Arpeggio Patterns
Compare the Am7 arpeggios
above to the Am7 chord below.

The Am7 arpeggios displayed
on this page give an almost complete picture of the Am7 arpeggio across
the entire neck of the guitar. Using the information provided on the "Notes
on the Neck" page, complete the picture. Using graph paper, diagram all
of the notes contained within the Am7 arpeggio on the neck of the guitar.
From that diagram create your own Am7 arpeggio and chord fingerings.
Some tips:
-
Sing the arpeggio while you
play it.
-
Play the arpeggio slowly.
-
Use a metronome to gauge your
progress.
-
Have a friend strum an Am7 chord
while you play the arpeggio so that you can "get into" the sound of the
arpeggio.
-
Compare the Am7 arpeggio to
the Am7 chord to the C major scale starting at the A note. See the similarities?
