The minor 7 flat 5 arpeggio is one of those sounds that instantly adds tension to your playing—especially in blues and minor-key progressions. In this lesson, we’ll take a look at the five movable minor 7♭5 arpeggio shapes across the fretboard, complete with tabs, interval diagrams, and suggested fingerings to help you visualize how each shape is built.

In a previous lesson we explored the major add9 arpeggio, which is derived from the major add9 chord. In this lesson we’re going to take a look at the beautifully melodic arpeggio, the minor add9 arpeggio. We’ll look at how they’re built and the explore the common arpeggio shapes on the guitar.

While the most common arpeggios are the major and minor arpeggios, arpeggios can be formed from any chord. In this lesson we’re going to take a look at major add9 arpeggios, including how they’re built and the common arpeggio shapes on the guitar.

I love to work from arpeggios when improvising and creating musical lines. It’s so easy to create a melody with them and they can be easily expanded upon with scales. In this lesson we’re going to work through a simple musical exercise for applying arpeggios and scales to the guitar.
