I can’t express my gratitude enough for your excellent skills in patient, simple tutorials and FANTASTIC GRAPHIC ARTS! Other tutorials have offered the same truths yet you took the time to make a visual aide. I am a visual learner so I can take a snap shot of your visuals and store them for a refresher when I need a reminder. I am 67 years old and only in the last two months have I learned to play the guitar to a level that pleases my ear and heart. I have been trying since age 15! Yet you are the only one that has helped me sound better than an 8 year old. Thanks again for taking the time to “teach an old dog new tricks”.
You are a great teacher your graphics are beautiful and easy to read I have learned so much from watching your program I have seen thousands of videos yours is number one
I would combine the triad shapes with the perspective that extended chords (like 7s) are adding thirds above the base triad. Example: a major triad (C E G) has a major third (C E) below a minor third (E G). Cmaj7 (C E G B) adds a major third on top (G B). Changing the higher interval to a minor third (C E G Bb) would create a dominant chord C7. So I'm combining intervals to create a huge variety of chords. For the arpeggios in this video there are only two intervals: major and minor thirds. Memorize finding M3 or m3 on the same string or adjacent string. Mix and match for major, minor, diminished, augmented, 7ths, 9ths, 11ths, or 13ths.
Yes that's a good idea of course. I did this those things in separate videos: Building Chords part 1: ruclips.net/video/ALqBpTJrCsQ/видео.html Building Chords part 2: ruclips.net/video/Uqbl-L3ydXA/видео.html Modal Arpeggios Part 1: ruclips.net/video/4pbnBtkkwrU/видео.html Modal Arpeggios Part 2: ruclips.net/video/Ze1Bz8wmaVM/видео.html
Jaw droped how simple and elegant your explanetion is. Without knowing all this years I have been using few of this shapes without understanding what I was doing but now thanks to your video it's like a blanket was taken off my eyes. Thank you !
Top quality content here, easy to follow, super clear explanation. What you get that others don't that many people need visual representation of the subject as you talking thru it. You absolutely nailed it.
These lessons are alway A💯. Solid teaching. My music has gained so much in a very short period of time because of these excellent tutorials. Thank you so much 👍🎸
Very helpful &innovative style,easy to understand & never think that erpeggio can play like this..Thank you so much.Waiting for your's next lesson.thanks again
Thanks a lot man - woah. I been trying to memorize all the major arpeggios by memory. In the major key. Your ascending pattern made it all click. easy mode
Hi Thanks for all the tutoriels. Cristal clean, understandable ans very well made. Theory is greatly explained ans the illustrations are just what is needed. Great thanks for the job, hope everyone will benefit of it.
I am not sure which direction to go in. I feel like I should learn chords but to play what ? I know the major and minor arpeggios and I’m getting them under my fingers up and down the neck. This memorization I feel has to be total. The chord charts are massive as you know and I confess I don’t even like jazz or want to play it. My fingerpicking is fairly strong. Your videos are next level lol. The difference is quite obvious, I’m glad the algorithm finally brought you to my feed . I’m scanning your library today . Thank you.
At 7:40 the diagrams of Cm7b5 and Cdim7 are switched mistakenly.

Thank you Rob ! Been watching and re-watching your Dreamy Lydian, Pentatonic Q n E and your Superimposing vids .. PLUS writint notes ! Your videos are sooo good. You should do a quick vid on your studio and gear ! I’m sure lots would love to see it/them. Thx again Rob !
Love theses ! I figured out how to play the minor and major arpegios this same way, with repeating patterns ! The good stuff with these patterns is they are still applicable on 8 string guitars ! Thank you so much for extending to 7ths chords !
Many thanks, very helpfull indeed but there is one thing I have noticed. I think the diagrams of the half diminished and diminished are switched. Am I correct?
I like how by starting on the 7th note (for the arpeggio progression) rather than starting on the root you made a two-string repeatable pattern which requires less of a stretch between fingers. If you start the two-string arpeggio pattern on the root instead, then for some of these arpeggio shapes yo have to span 5 frets which is a bit of a stretch particularly if you're on the low frets. Great idea!
This arpeggio has not much to do with a pentatonic scale. The order I would suggest: pentatonic scale improvisation > diatonic scale improvisation > arpeggios
Hi Rob, may I know what softwares did you use to create this video? Reason for asking is I have been using hard paper drawing of theory to explain to my 10yo and 12yo kids and it's so difficult to repeat and messy as well. Pls help..Many thanks.
Hi Lawrence. I use a combination of Adobe illustrator and Adobe Premiere and sometimes Adobe Photoshop. So it's not dedicated software like Publisher, but a lot of handwork I'm afraid...
Thank you so much for this, I never thought about it until I saw your video. I like this 2 strings shape for reason that it give us consistent shape across every 2 strings.
Great video and I love all the clear diagrams that you put on the screen. I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen one of your videos and I’m definitely going to subscribe. It would be cool if you could do follow up videos where you go back to this but instead of using this pattern you do the other variations or at least one per video so that when the diagrams come up on the screen it will show you a new way to do the arpeggio besides this way. I know this is the easiest way but it would be awesome to like get this down and then once you have this one down you can click on part two and you can watch that video to learn the other way you can do it. Thanks
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that at 7:46 the graphic showing Cm7b5 and Cdim7 has the two reversed. I did not read all the earlier comments, so maybe this has already been pointed out.
Quick question, when you dropped the 3rd and 5th they became flat 3rd and flat 5th, why later did the dropped note become diminished and not flat like the others?
The flow of the video, speaking, and musical examples is unmatched in quality and ease of following along
Thank you Randy for your nice comment :)
Indeed. And the Dutch accent adds the cherry on top.
These are some of the clearest, and best guitar lessons online. Well done!
Thank you James!

A thumbs up for having the creativity to make sure the 'backing music' actually applied to the material being covered... bravo.
Great idea too!
You are a great teacher your graphics are beautiful and easy to read I have learned so much from watching your program I have seen thousands of videos yours is number one
Clear and to the point without unnecessary rambling to extend the video. Extremely well done!
Thank you D C !
These videos are so good!!!!
Wow, I wish I had something like this when I was first learning guitar, great work!!
Why was I missing this content? You teach in ways that can be applied immediately. You make theory make sense, thank you so much!
Now this I can remember. Memorizing all the other positions of all arpeggios is daunting to say the least
You got this 😊
Very cool. Will try this tomorrow. Thanks for posting.
Awesome! Best explanation on internet! Keep it up!
Knowing the 3, 5, and 7 interval positions in relation to the tonic is very helpful.
Indeed MellowJim!
I'm a huge fan of useful simplifications. This is a great way to construct arpeggios.
Fan-F'n-Tastic!!! I've been looking for this information for a long time!
Thank you very much!
Very very very very good!
Awesome and cristal clear explanation
Very clearly and understandably Presented. Thank You!
best explanation of arps I've run into yet and I watched a lot of other ones over the past few months.
Thanks Ian!
Best tutorial on this.
I would combine the triad shapes with the perspective that extended chords (like 7s) are adding thirds above the base triad. Example: a major triad (C E G) has a major third (C E) below a minor third (E G). Cmaj7 (C E G B) adds a major third on top (G B).

Mix and match for major, minor, diminished, augmented, 7ths, 9ths, 11ths, or 13ths.

Thank you. This makes more sense to me than anything I've heard on he subject.
Rob literally gives you the keys to the Ferrari! Great lessons.
Jaw droped how simple and elegant your explanetion is.
Without knowing all this years I have been using few of this shapes without understanding what I was doing but now thanks to your video it's like a blanket was taken off my eyes.
Thank you !
Thanks for your comment!
An absolutely brilliant approach... I would never think to start from the 7th but yes, this solves so much!
Glad I could help you Dragisa :)
Top quality content here, easy to follow, super clear explanation. What you get that others don't that many people need visual representation of the subject as you talking thru it. You absolutely nailed it.
Thanks!!
Man this changed my life and made all the arpeggios chaos looks simple and finally knows every single arpeggio thank you so much 🥰 🙏 🙌 ❤
Fantastic lesson thank you!
These lessons are alway A💯. Solid teaching. My music has gained so much in a very short period of time because of these excellent tutorials. Thank you so much 👍🎸
This is the best channel i've seen on teaching music theory
Another amazing lesson. Thank you 🙏
By far the easiest, clearest arpeggio lesson for beginners on youtube :) Absolutely perfect, congrats :)
Very helpful &innovative style,easy to understand & never think that erpeggio can play like this..Thank you so much.Waiting for your's next lesson.thanks again
Thank you Pinaki!
glad that i found this lesson, its great!!
Good teacher! clear and useful, shapes for the eye and examples for the ear. Best!
Excellent lesson! Paul Davids?
Finally found a one-stop learning channel, it's all I want in here. thank you man.
The best way to describe, thank you.
Thanks a lot man - woah. I been trying to memorize all the major arpeggios by memory. In the major key. Your ascending pattern made it all click. easy mode
Excellent that was cool man, thanks.
Hi
Thanks for all the tutoriels. Cristal clean, understandable ans very well made.
Theory is greatly explained ans the illustrations are just what is needed.
Great thanks for the job, hope everyone will benefit of it.
Wonderful teaching for slow learner's like myself 🙏
Well done! Definitely much easier patterns to get around compared to the regular ones in most books. 👍 Cheers.
Crystal clear, 100/100---thanks a lot!
Very concise but details description on arpeggios formation, Loved it Sir,
Thank you, Q, your guitar lesson it is so well demonstrated and well explained. Thank you and have a wonderful day.
I am not sure which direction to go in. I feel like I should learn chords but to play what ? I know the major and minor arpeggios and I’m getting them under my fingers up and down the neck.

Thank you for sharing all your hard work, I sincerely appreciate you :)
Thanks a lot for this lesson. This was a major obstacle and your have simplified it so beautifully. Thank you again.
It was my pleasure Rajeev :)
All vdeo that i watched in youtube,, this is crystal clear,Simple and easy to underatand,,Thank you
Thank you!
Very interesting and helpfull. I'm waiting for #5 arpeggios for Jazz. Thank you.
This going to make me sound great thanks.
Very helpful. Well explained. Thank you. Merry Christmas.
Awesome channel. I really enjoy your content and sense of humour.
Great! Now tackling the approach to playing triad arpeggio pairs over a chord becomes - much clearer. Thank You!
Nice to see it's usefull!
Very beautiful and clear guitar lesson, congratulations, I subscribed ! ♥️😽
Wow that is awesome ty for your time & effort
Nice tutorial still watching this video in 19th May 2022

... loving that backing track used for the lesson. Is it available??? Or the tabs for the chords??
Yes sure Warren. You can find it on my channel here: ruclips.net/video/G2mD0p5A7H4/видео.html
Have fun :)
@@QJamTracks Thanks, Rob! I'm new to your channel, and I homed in on that background music immediately. Love it. I'm glad Warren asked about it.
Hey really like the vid. Is there a link to download these patterns like a pdf or something.? Thanks.
Thank you Rob ! Been watching and re-watching your Dreamy Lydian, Pentatonic Q n E and your Superimposing vids .. PLUS writint notes ! Your videos are sooo good. You should do a quick vid on your studio and gear ! I’m sure lots would love to see it/them. Thx again Rob !
Thank you for your nice comment! :) Maybe I will do a video of the gear and the 'making of'...
Heel mooi dit Rob. mvg vanuit Malaysia bedankt voor deze toffe les
Dank je Rob voor je reactie!
Love theses ! I figured out how to play the minor and major arpegios this same way, with repeating patterns ! The good stuff with these patterns is they are still applicable on 8 string guitars ! Thank you so much for extending to 7ths chords !
Many thanks, very helpfull indeed but there is one thing I have noticed.

As a beginner - should I be learning the cords/pentatonic first or CAGE before doing this arpeggios?
This arpeggio has not much to do with a pentatonic scale. The order I would suggest: pentatonic scale improvisation > diatonic scale improvisation > arpeggios

Hi Lawrence. I use a combination of Adobe illustrator and Adobe Premiere and sometimes Adobe Photoshop. So it's not dedicated software like Publisher, but a lot of handwork I'm afraid...
Nice lesson! Thanks! 7.33min the Cdim7 and Cm7b5 is mixed up....
I just commented on this, before I saw your comment!
Hi, thanks for the lesson. I do think that you switched the pictures of the Cm7b5 and the Cdim7 patterns in the overview at 7.55....am I right?
I noticed that as well...the Cm7b5 and Cdim7 patterns are switched in the overview at 7:55.
Good catch
Yes they are switched unfortunately
Wonderful explanation, thank you !
Wonderful tutorial! I love it already.
Thanks!
Awesome lesson!
Why complicate when something can be as simple as this!!!
Fantastic idea, thanks 😊
Great lesson thanks.
Awesome!!! Very helpful! Thanks!!!!
Thanks!!
Just for info, Cm7b5 and Cdim7 are inversed in last image of the presentation. Thank you for the lesson
Yes. I made a mistake there unfortunately...
Excellent. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this, I never thought about it until I saw your video. I like this 2 strings shape for reason that it give us consistent shape across every 2 strings.
You're welcome Azzam. It is indeed a convenient fingering :)
This is fantastic. Thanks!
This is fantastic! Thank you, subbed
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice lesson thanks.

What a great channel. Subscribing now!
Great info ... cristal clear :) thank you ... Subscribed :)
Awesome....thanks bro...God bless u
Very nicely explained Thanks

You're right. They are reversed...
Always helpful and insightful sir. You've help me alot in the past year! Thank you so much.
You're absolutely welcome Mr.Stax 👍
Great thank you!
Quick question, when you dropped the 3rd and 5th they became flat 3rd and flat 5th, why later did the dropped note become diminished and not flat like the others?
Great
Lekker! GREAT lesson
Background music in this video?
Is this Paul Davids?
