Hello friends, 

And welcome back to Swiftlessons for another lead guitar tutorial. In today’s session I’ll be showing you three useful arpeggio patterns that you can use to improvise over a 1.4.5 progression in the key of A. Practice this routine in repetition while gradually increasing the tempo. Once these techniques have been committed to muscle memory, I suggest jamming over a backing track as you combine these arpeggios with scales to form your own melodic ideas. Let’s get started!

As always, this was a great lesson and a unique way to look at and string together these arpeggios. Now do you have an ideas or tricks for using them for soloing? I'm assuming that there's a place for this in blues tunes. Thanks as always; so happy to see that you are doing so well. You've earned it. Looking foward to seeing your jazzed up studio!

I should mention that the level of proficiency I have took hundreds of slow repetitions, and I still need a lot more practice to get it truly performance ready.

Hey thanks Dawn, and happy new year. To answer your question, arpeggios as they are presented in this lesson are common to blues soloing, but rather jazz, gypsy, classical, flamenco, and certainly metal. One technique that I employ often is to arpeggiate up the neck, then using scales to create a descending melody, this is quite classy!

Thanks so much for your answer, Rob. I think I'm a long way from "classy" in any of my playing, but I'm sure going to see what I can do with those arpeggios after lots and lots and lots of practice. Have another great year ahead.

Rob, another good lesson, only one problem. As a relative newbie, I'm not sure what to do with these once I get them down. A little more explanation for beginners would be much appreciated.

Hey Dick, great question. For starters you can use this as simply a finger exercise to develop your dexterity, and picking accuracy. You can also use learning this technique as an excuse to study the names of the notes on the fretboard. Arpeggios are used tons of great solos across many genres, so learning them will help you to recognize the theory behind certain riffs and licks. I strongly recommend that you embrace a creative approach to learning the guitar, otherwise you will be learning techniques and have no place to immediately apply them. So, I recommend that you write yourself a tune and see if you can work these techniques in during a solo section or create an intro riff using them. That's the best thing about being a songwriter, I can learn something new and instantly find a home for that information. Enjoy your practice! -Rob

Silly question I suppose, but where is the bell?

Awesome finally getting to some scale work. I have always meant to put the work in because I know theory will help me learn songs faster. Nice quick learning experience. Thanks...

Hi. I'm new and confused about why this is called 1.4.5 as I understand you to say through the exercise 1.3.5? Thank you. I'm enjoying your lessons, thank you.

Hey Kathleen, that's an excellent and very important question to ask! If you look at a particular major chord, you'll see that it is built from the 1st, 3rd and 5th notes of it's major scale. So when I mention a 1.3.5, I speaking about the individual chord that I'm breaking apart or arpeggiating. In contrast, the numbers 1.4.5 are in reference to the chord progression Amaj, Dmaj, and Emaj - These chords are referred to as 1.4.5 because that is the numeric placement in the Amaj scale, which is our key.
