Tuning
Throughout this program Rusty is using a seven string guitar tuned a half step down to Eb tun-
ing. The tuning notes are:
(Thinnest) (Thickest)
1st String 2nd String 3rd String 4th String 5th String 6th String 7th String
Eb Bb Gb Db Ab Eb Bb
Note that even though Rusty is using a seven-string guitar, all of the examples he teaches only
use the 6th through 1st strings making all of the examples applicable to all guitarists.

Before we begin this program it is essential that you have the basics of modal theory under your
hands. The following is the diatonic modes relative to the key of “G” major for you to review.

Chord Scales
Each key has its own set of chords that correspond and function directly with it. There is no “book
of secrets” that tells musicians the chords that are available to use. You have already learned the
information needed to build the chords within a key, now to get to the next level of songwriting
and modal knowledge you need to learn how to harmonize a Major scale.
First, look at basic three-part harmony or triads. This three-part harmonization derives the basic
major, minor, diminished and augmented chords within any given scale. The Major scale has
three of these four types of three-part harmony chords; Major, minor and diminished.
It is easiest to see this process on a notation staff and piano. Let’s look at a “C” Major scale in
both of these formats.
Now if we play the first, third and fifth degrees of the scale simultaneously we have a “C” Major
chord.
11
Arpeggio Madness
Now take the second degree of the scale “D” and skip the third degree, add the fourth degree
“F,” skip the fifth note and add in the sixth note “A.” We now have a grouping of the three notes
“D,” “F” and “A.” These notes create the notes of a “D” minor chord.
Notice that with the first chord we used the scale degrees 1 – 3 – 5 and with the second chord we
used the scale degree 2 – 4 – 6. Do you see the pattern; the chord is comprised of every other
note. So the III chord would be created by using the scale degrees 3, 5 and 7 (E – G – B) which
outline an “E” minor chord.
Here is the “C” Major scale with each degree harmonized in three parts. Notice that the chords
that have their lowest tone on a line have the next two notes on a staff line as well and the same
goes for the notes that begin on a staff space; the next two notes are in the spaces as well.
These are intervals of a third. Chords are constructed by stacking intervals of thirds. The tabbed
chords below each triad are full form chords and contain duplicate notes within each triad to cre-
ate these commonly used chords.
12
Arpeggio Madness
Now let’s look at four-part harmonization. This type of harmony is where the chords types such
as Major Seventh, Minor Seventh, Minor Seventh “b5” and Dominant Seventh come from. If you
have a good grasp on the three-part harmonization from the last section all you have to do is add
another interval of a third onto each chord. So if we look back at the “C” Major Chord (C-E-G);
skip the next note after the “G” which is “A” and add the “B” onto the chord we have now added
the seventh degree to the chord. Follow this process with the rest of the chords.
For the power chords go, all you have to do is find the first and last note of the three-part har-
mony (Root and fifth degree) and you have the power chords. So for the C power chord it will
be C & G.
Keep in mind that power chords are not really chords, they are intervals. They are commonly
called double stops. A chord by definition is three or more different notes played at the same
time. Power chords only use two notes: the root and fifth. Guitarists over the span of many years
have dubbed these “power chords” due to the strong tonal sound and frequent use. They are
used just as much, if not more than the full form chords used by many guitarists. The power
chords are extremely important to Rock and Metal guitarists because when they are played
through an amp saturated in distortion they sound much tighter than full form chords which can
have a muddy sound when distorted.

Arpeggio Madness
Now that you have learned the process of creating chords from any Major Scale in three-and
four-part harmony, you should memorize the following “Major Scale Chord Formula” so it can
becomes second nature.

One key thing to remember with the diminished arpeggios is that they invert in intervals of a mi-
nor third (one and a half steps).

In this example, Rusty taps using both the ring and middle fingers of his picking hand. Above
the tab you will notice a “T2” and a “T3.” The T2 signifies tapping with your picking hand middle
finger and the T3 signifies tapping with your picking hand ring finger.
**Note that you can stay on one string in one position and practice this multi-finger tap legato roll before
trying the whole example if you find it difficult at first. So you would start off by practicing:
T2 T3 T2

Once you have these three arpeggio fingerings memorized, you can apply them to any diatonic
Major chord scale. All you need to know is this chord scale formula:
Now you can take that formula and apply it to any diatonic major scale and work out the arpeg-
gios for that key. For example, in the key of “G” Major (G - A - B - C - D - E - F#) you would play:

All of these different patterns will work, and work well over any of the seven diatonic chords in
the key of “E” minor. Be sure to practice these over all the seven different chords so that you
can really get the sound of the harmony these arpeggios create when played in a musical con-
text.

Below is a quick reference chart to see how these arpeggios are derived from the key of “G”
major. Starting on the “G” note in the left hand column number 1, read to the right of the “G”, you
will see the “A” under the second degree (2), “B” under the third degree (3) and “D” under the fifth
degree (5). These are the four notes that make up the Gadd2 four note arpeggio.
