If we look at all of the 4 note chords formed in the Key of C Major, we get:
D min7 – G7 – C Maj7
II V I
Exercise 1.
• Play 4 note arpeggios.
• Start on the root note of each chord.
• Ascend for every chord.
• Wherever possible, use shapes that stay in position. (I.e. you don’t
have to move your hand up or down the neck)
The purpose of this lesson is purely to get your hands familiar with the shapes
that we use to play over these chord types.
This exercise is great for your left hand technique, using one finger per fret
ideas and getting you used to playing in position.
Make sure to start slowly and learn the shapes. This does not need to be
done with a metronome, drum machine or click.
Once you have learned the shapes and your hand is comfortable with the
movements, practice along to a click or a playalong drum track. Start slowly
and aim for a good tone, even dynamics and a steady, solid feel.
