The G7 arpeggio contains
the notes G, B, D, and F. The G7 arpeggio is based on the 5th degree of
the C major scale. For that matter, the 5th degree of any major scale will
be a dominant 7th chord, which is what the G7 chord is. If this information
confuses you, please study the material I've provided on the "Music Theory"
page.
Listen to a G7 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 G, B, D, and F. Experiment with playing the notes "out of order"
to create melodies. |

G7 Arpeggio Patterns
Compare the G7 arpeggios
above to the G7 chord below.

The G7 arpeggios displayed
on this page give an almost complete picture of the G7 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 G7 arpeggio on the neck of the guitar.
From that diagram create your own G7 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 G7 chord
while you play the arpeggio so that you can "get into" the sound of the
arpeggio.
-
Compare the G7 arpeggio to the
G7 chord to the C major scale starting at the G note. See the similarities?
