There are a lot of us who want to learn a lot of things in music because it "looks cool" or you just can't wait to learn it because it sounds so good...well, here I am with another article, rather some advice on how to go about learning arpeggios. We all know what arpeggios is...most of you will say "yeah...uh...it's that cool thing which people do on the guitar so smoothly.." and other variations of that. Personally, I think it's very important to know what you're getting into by explanation before you learn it. Don't worry, I'll cover everything in the simplest language possible. What is Arpeggios?

Today I will be explaining to you how Arpeggios and Chord Families work.  Arpeggio s Let's start from scratch. What is Arpeggios? It did sound a bit weird to me when I heard it for the first time.

While you're plucking your strings, (remember, one at a time) you will hold the A chord. You just played arpeggios.  Now that you got an idea of how it's done, let's move on to understand why it is played. Now again, remember that out here I will st...
