Great exercise/warmup! I'm workin' on it...your young nimble fingers move so smoothly, my ole 82 year old fingers are not so quick, but i love the workout. Thank you very much for your artistry and time teaching us all.
@@pgroove163 holy hahaha, I used to play alto in my high school, but doing this stuff on a saxophone seems very hard hahaahha you must be a beast on the sax
This is years worth of lessons here. Anyone who feels overwhelmed ought to bookmark this video, slow it down, and piece by piece work this thing out. So much information here, and worth hundreds of hours of study and practice time. So much theory, fingerboard knowledge, coordination, and left-hand exercise to be had here. What the hell even is a Dominant flat 5? You don't need to know today, that's years away. Just get through the major and minor for now. Those alone are mountains unto themselves.
Personally i'm doing this in steps. 1) Learn just the major shape starting on C 2) Learning major shape around the the circle of fourth Learn the minor shape around the circle of fourth 4) Learn intervals of both 5) Saying the names of the notes while i do it. This is an amazing exercice to learn the fretboard, get finger dexterity, stamina, hand eye coordination, learn scales. If you do that, you will already know more than 90% of musicians out there.
@Akinnon2000 neat idea. In terms of the circle of 4ths and 5ths… Does that mean you are rotating thru the chords in those circles and playing the major and minor scales per chord? Am I saying that right?
Been doing the major seven for a couple months Moving to the minor 7 Great Lifetime exercise. My ear is improving as well as my fretboard knowledge Thanks!
The confidence I gained just from the nice sounds that are produced while doing this exercise is what stopped me from giving up on learning guitar. Thank you.
I’m 114 years and after a break of 75 years I started to play the guitar again. Since then I learned everything from this video and I’m able to play it forward an backwards at a really decent speed already. Arthritis kicking real hard but you gotta shake them bones I guess.
You just got me as a subscriber because everyone who shows this just do it and it’s done so fast I can’t follow it. You printed everything at the bottom of the screen. Thank you soooooo much!!! I play other instruments and sing. I’m disabled and have problems with my immune system and with covid I’m stuck inside and only leave my house when I absolutely need to. So I decided to learn to play guitar. I was getting so frustrated and I appreciate you taking time to put it at the bottom of the page. I never had any lessons so I play by ear and don’t know notes very fast or well!! I will definitely recommend you to others and I know people all over the world. I travelled with my dad who is a minister and he did the sermons and I played piano and sang and my dad sings and plays guitar but he strums an accustic.I want to learn to play it right.
This is seriously high-quality content (both the teaching and the playing). It's a stretch (literally) for most players (including me), but so precisely laid out here that there's no excuse for not giving it a go.
Looks easy enough. I mean, I haven't actually "done it" on my guitar but I did watch it while I enjoyed my sandwich AND my guitars are like right next to me.
On electric it's easy (if you already know this stuff) all I need is fretboard or cutaway I gotta stop at 15 fret.The minor parts are different of course but no different than any minor arpeggio. This pattern makes me slide up in position for the next note descending until highest
@@RobbieBarnby Any explanation to why you don’t show the fingersetting to this excercise? You only teach us about the index finger and not the rest. Why? Very frustrating....
@@superkatarsis So the fingering is a personal thing and you'll need to try what works best for you. I only wanted to mention the important parts of the fingering which should be consistent (using the index to shift and the jump to the 7th) as this is what I've tried to keep the same across the shapes for the various chord qualities. Now the rest of the fingering needs to be what the individual player prefers. So, I didn't want to stress a 'best way' for the whole fingering (the 'best way' is whatever is best for the individual). I've found that I tend to do slight variations for parts of the run depending on how it feels in the moment. I recommend practising lots of variations at various tempos and to enjoy the discovery process. This process of discovery will best set you up for getting comfortable with it. If you are really struggling, then check out my Patreon page as I have written out some suggested fingering options which you can try (this might help get you started). Thanks for watching.
Why am I just hearing about this master of the fretboard just now? This guy is amazing. Thanks Rob for inspiring us with your gifted talent and teaching skills. Wishing you success in your music career. You deserve it
I just turned 60. I've been playing since I was 9 years old. You've given me quite a bit to munch on. Heading to the practice shed... I might see you before my time on Earth is done, but just in case, you've got such fluidity on the fretboard. You could play the ringtone from an old Nokia flip phone and it would sound like a Charlie Parker solo.
I’m just gonna play that first one like a million times then come back to this video, thank you. Been playing 15 years and that was the first arpeggio I ever played lol
Maybe just casually playing. I've been playing for like 10 years sort of casually and I just play riffy stuff like Gojira and stuff. I'm about to branch out and take it more seriously though.
@@kevinbazarek You do realize that there are a crap ton of famous guitarists that have written a crap ton of hits that people actually buy and none of then can play an arpeggio like this. These youtube guys have great technique they learned in a school but it never amounted to being able to write a hit song.
@@TheSweezer nobody was talking about hit songs or complex arpeggios until you came in, so I'd advise shelving your imaginary conversation with an imaginary topic for another time. the point I was making, again with zero disrespect, was how hard it was to believe that someone can play for 15 years and not ever play an arpeggio. which is almost certainly wrong by the way, he probably just wasn't aware that he was playing an arpeggio in X or Y song. some people just take things more seriously than others, I suppose, and there's nothing wrong with that
@@kevinbazarek a 'no disrespect' disclaimer doesn't give you a free pass for being a condescending douche - whether you think you are not it's exactly what it looks like. Which is why the previous comment was made
Sheer genius . I was hear a year ago and thought , no way ! But with a lot of practice, I can do the first half. Might take another year to understand the second half and how all these relate. Thanks Robbie for setting the bar in its proper place.
I’m just viewing this for the first time at 2 AM , no guitar in hand… and it seems daunting as hell. I can imagine myself huffing through the major and minor and possibly even the 7th, but then it seems to veer into scales that I don’t necessarily frequent for mostly alt, pop, grunge , RNB, folk psychedelia, singer songwriting. I’ll break into it and take it day by day. If I can become adept at even those first 3 and relate them to to the 5 cage scale patterns and triads, I figure that will be a major leap for me. I don’t see myself heading deeply down the Jazz rabbit hole, but I can understand how this could become an essential roadmap for that. Thank you for inviting me to take my practice to a new level.
I am going to hammer out that first Major 7th pattern and come back in a week or two to move onto the minor. Thank you for creating such a valuable resource. Super high quality lesson!
Literally the best guitar training video ever made. I am a life long guitarist who has focused on song writing mostly and I have finally decided to really tackle jazz theory. This exercise has been the perfect starting point to tackle the muscle memory of arpeggios. Thank you so much for your clever presentation and practical demonstration of this concept. I will be subscribing to your Patreon so I can download these PDFs. Huge thanks.
This is one of the best exercises i've seen in my musical life. Not only sounds good, its challenging and Fun as hell tô play. Thank you so much for this.
This is a brilliant lesson , it's taking me to the next level, definitely would appreciate more of these types of lessons. Thank you for sharing your skills . Cam
Thank you for presenting the material so clearly. I really like how you show the angle of the left hand so that it shows how you actually move the point of contact (fingertip) around to navigate the fretboard. It’s helping me to break out of my straight yet sometimes awkward fingering.
back in the 80' there were not too much books about guitar,I had to buy violin ,flute, clarinet books and there you go ,i found the hard pieces of arpeggios playing in guitar, thanks for the videos.
A meaty exercise. I’ve been working on the major run for a week. Last day or so I’ve started incorporating the minor. As a novice, this is by far the most I’ve had to concentrate with a guitar in hand. 👍 thanks
This will take months to master but I can't wait to take this on! This is the best shortcut to jazz soloing imaginable, all combined into a short video with tabs and a great teacher.
If you do it 10 mins a day I reckon you'll suprise yourself! I'm going to try it..well worth making a backing track that can be played back at different speeds
Do it straight away or as soon as practical..Don't say you'll try tommorrow or whenever... I just gave it 5 mins and I'm feeling locked in already! This is gonna be an addictive and rewarding one
@@bazjaddley6369 I was exaggerating tbh. It's a really useful exercise. So far I'm doing C7, F7, Bb7 and Eb7 and focusing on the fingerings and playing slowly but in time. It's funny because making a backing track is exactly what I did. I found a slow steady C blues works well as every note in the C7 arpeggio sounded good over it. Thanks for the encouragement. It's definitely rewarding. I'll get to all 12 keys then minor but I've only really just got into arpeggios so I'm going step by step to try and understand what I'm playing as I go. What I'm really impressed by is how this video is only about 10 mins but actually contains an impressive amount of info and will level up any guitar player who works through it. Absolute gold.
@@Matt-wg9xl absolutely. If you're a jazzer and don't already have the Micky baker book the same can be said! A few years work in there, just the first page with the chord shapes is worth the cover price alone
Full range and all keys! Great lesson! The most complicated thing about guitar is breaking "out of the box" and using the full range of the instrument. Everything should be practiced 3 and 4 octave range on guitar.
I've reached that point where I ran out of penatonic riffs and licks when phrasing....this opened a whole new beautiful world of guitar playing. I always learn on my martin first, then play it on the electrics....amazing knowledge and quite deep, but not unattainable. Wonderful work - Bravo!
I don’t have the theory background to fully understand all the nuances you are discussing here but I’m sure going to give this exercise a go. Thanks for the inspiration.
Brilliant tutorial. Been scouring online for exactly this. Very accessible and clear enough for us to venture off and study any section in more detail. Thank you! :)
That’s brilliant stuff here. Such fluid and defined playing. Nailing this will take time, but the results this practice will provide would be simply amazing!
Notation & Tab for all the arpeggio shapes (in all 12 keys), suggested left hand fingerings for each chord quality, full workout written out + Eb variations for guitars with less than 24 frets, and intro transcription/backing track available on Patreon ► www.patreon.com/robbiebarnby
@Flo Laforet that last note is played on the spot that would be the 23rd fret, just below the 22nd. you can get a tone out of it, but it's a semi-tone. It might be more clear on high-end guitars, which I don't have. It's difficult for me to get a tone out of that position, you just barely hear a little chirp.
Thank you Robbie. You taught this beautifully. I wish I had a teacher like you when I was young. I am a bar level rock/metal musician who has aged out. I spend my time now emulating my heroes McLaughlin, Metheny, Di Meola, Martino... I wish I had a teacher like you when I was a young man. I have mucho holes in my knowledge. Instant subscriber.
I teach the majority of my students to solo using chord tones (arpeggios) because it's something they can understand that allows them to play over chord changes. I don't finger them quite the same but the concept is there and you are the first cat I've seen use this type of arp.
This got me thinking about how similar scales and chords are, and how you take the linear simple(albeit ridiculously complicated at first) patterns in guitar theory, when you play a chord you move whatever to match the name, suspendeds and minors move the third and diminished moves the 5th and or 4th accordingly with Tritone rules and shit, and it reminded me scales are just chords with every number 1-7/8 and I can practice arpeggiating them to play solos, along with playing around and building into other chords surrounding whatever key we are playing in. I’ve been playing guitar for five years and only been just copying riffs up until very very recently when I actually started researching music theory and unlocking my mastery in guitar which is happening surprisingly quickly. This video alone has been so helpful in my journey and I thank you so much
When applying to harmony and in practice mode, I think of both. The shapes help get it in my fingers but I make sure to analyze what each note of the shape is in relation to the chord I'm applying the arpeggio to (what the chord tones are basically). When in performance mode, I try not to think like that but instead, just hope that I did enough when practicing to allow myself to subconsciously have the knowledge. This is so that I can be free to use a concept or idea without it using up the headspace which should be focused on other things when performing/playing music with other musicians. Hope that helps, thanks for the question!
I got a guitar during Covid lockdown to help with the boredom
I have watched all these videos
And am now an expert RUclips guitar tutorial consumer
Same here! I know if I watch enough YT guitar tutorials, I'll eventually absorb skills by osmosis! 😆
Yeah you can get to a really high level of guitar tutorial viewing😅
Forget the arpeggios, your guitar tone is literally heavenly.
It's been 76 years since I began learning everything from this video. I'm very proud to be able to play everything up to almost 0:13 :)
wow congrats
😅😂
that's much more than me
I’ve no idea who this is aimed at. The speed is weird. Anyone who can play this fast doesn’t need this.
Wow how’d you pick that up so fast?!

This is becoming one of my fav channels, I can't believe I've just found it!
Super interesting and fun from a mechanical, melodic, & theoretical perspective!!!
Ill be geeking on this for a while.
As my Korean grandmaster you to tell me when i started Taekwondo , " slow is smooth, and smooth is fast":
Awesome video man. You're a good teacher and a hell of a guitar player.
ok that's an entire weekend worth of practice and then some just to get the basic fingering on all keys. thank you man!
Man! Just the kinda arpeggios lesson I was looking for 🙌🏻
Thought this was gonna be another pop guitar video but you're a legit player Robbie and this is a great exercise.
I don’t have the theory background to fully understand all the nuances you are discussing here but I’m sure going to give this exercise a go. Thanks for the inspiration.
Brilliant tutorial. Been scouring online for exactly this. Very accessible and clear enough for us to venture off and study any section in more detail. Thank you! :)
I love how musical this sounds. Very impressive.
try "You Enjoy Mysel"f by Phish>> Being a musician you will be impressed
@@robertbassinder Yeah man...saw my 1st show in '94.
glad to be here to see this channel grow. great production and i love how you put the stuff in musical context. makes for so much more of a fun watch
Thanks for being apart of the journey!
Noted this video down and added it to a playlist! This is definitely a great resource for guitarists!
I wish I could like this video twice. This is a game-changer of an exercise.
That’s brilliant stuff here. Such fluid and defined playing. Nailing this will take time, but the results this practice will provide would be simply amazing!
Notation & Tab for all the arpeggio shapes (in all 12 keys), suggested left hand fingerings for each chord quality, full workout written out + Eb variations for guitars with less than 24 frets, and intro transcription/backing track available on Patreon ► www.patreon.com/robbiebarnby
great lesson. thanks alot
I can't play the Eb on my guitar because no 23rd fret.
@@jollythespacepimp2735 Same! Try bending it! It sounds awful! COOL!
@Flo Laforet that last note is played on the spot that would be the 23rd fret, just below the 22nd. you can get a tone out of it, but it's a semi-tone. It might be more clear on high-end guitars, which I don't have. It's difficult for me to get a tone out of that position, you just barely hear a little chirp.
Thank you Robbie. You taught this beautifully. I wish I had a teacher like you when I was young. I am a bar level rock/metal musician who has aged out. I spend my time now emulating my heroes McLaughlin, Metheny, Di Meola, Martino... I wish I had a teacher like you when I was a young man. I have mucho holes in my knowledge. Instant subscriber.
Awesome videos Robbie!
Thanks a lot!
Awesome, most refreshing workout I’ve seen in a very long time. Takes it to a whole new level, thanks for the inspiration!
Boi, this is gold. From the color grading to that cool mix of jazz and modern beats. Also lovely playing! Can’t wait to see more :)
I teach the majority of my students to solo using chord tones (arpeggios) because it's something they can understand that allows them to play over chord changes. I don't finger them quite the same but the concept is there and you are the first cat I've seen use this type of arp.
Moving along nicely on this brother! I really like these little jams, their improving my speed tremendously!
Ty👊
Your sound of each note so amazing so smooth and clear . To be honest I understood nothing, but I enjoyed the video ❤️
Been playing guitar for a lifetime and this here is premium content!!! Liked, subscribed and thanks for sharing your magic!!!
Hey! Its my lucky day that I stumbled across this fantastic tutorial! Thanks a lot. It might change my style 😀
This got me thinking about how similar scales and chords are, and how you take the linear simple(albeit ridiculously complicated at first) patterns in guitar theory, when you play a chord you move whatever to match the name, suspendeds and minors move the third and diminished moves the 5th and or 4th accordingly with Tritone rules and shit, and it reminded me scales are just chords with every number 1-7/8 and I can practice arpeggiating them to play solos, along with playing around and building into other chords surrounding whatever key we are playing in. I’ve been playing guitar for five years and only been just copying riffs up until very very recently when I actually started researching music theory and unlocking my mastery in guitar which is happening surprisingly quickly. This video alone has been so helpful in my journey and I thank you so much
Brilliant lesson! I love the tune of your guit! Great!
You started your channel 1 month ago with this level of quality? Insane. Congrats and keep it up!
This is one of those exercises that are so melodic that they wont feel like an exercise! - good teaching here Robbie 👌
would be interesting to know how you think when you play these. Do you think in shapes or notes?
When applying to harmony and in practice mode, I think of both. The shapes help get it in my fingers but I make sure to analyze what each note of the shape is in relation to the chord I'm applying the arpeggio to (what the chord tones are basically). When in performance mode, I try not to think like that but instead, just hope that I did enough when practicing to allow myself to subconsciously have the knowledge. This is so that I can be free to use a concept or idea without it using up the headspace which should be focused on other things when performing/playing music with other musicians. Hope that helps, thanks for the question!
Of course it helps also if you
have a good ear and can
hear those notes 😀
Amazing and inspiring! it's been a long time since I've seen such an original and high quality video.
That tone is amazing. I’m not even much of jazz person. Well except the old stuff.
I'm not a guitarist but this sound like a scale from some alternate universe, it makes me want to finally buy a guitar and get to work!
Arpeggios not scale mate ;) Basically notes of a chord played in succession instead of at the same time.
“Your whole tone nonsense” I love that.
