C major turnaround exercise

Tim Robinson

This arpeggio exercise is based around a common I VI II V progression:

C A7 Dm7 G7
The dominant 7 chords are substituted with diminished 7 arpeggios. The exercise is designed so each
arpeggio flows smoothly into the next one. Likewise the last arpeggio flows back to the beginning.
I have indicated possible fingering and picking suggestions.
