Guitar Cmaj7

Welcome to this lesson in depth about the replacement of arpeggio. I hope that after reading this lesson, you will understand everything there is to know about replacement of arpeggios and start using this great device on your own music. Replacing arpeggios on chords is a great way to add some interest for their land and make you look more interesting. You can replace arpeggios simple forms just boring chords and harmonies to create some really interesting and complex sounding.

The first thing we learned to do with arpeggios arpeggio is playing the chord on it related. For example, when we learn an arpeggio Cmajor7 our first thought is to be played over a Cmaj7 chord. Although this is a great way to sketch out a chord progression, if we use this idea often becomes quickly boring to hear. We can use substitutions to make the sound of simple chords Cmaj7 chord as a more complex as Cmaj9, Cmaj13 etc.

Let first look at some of the possibilities available to us and then we look at some of the most common substitutions arpeggio in more depth. In our first example, let's look at the options available to us, replacing the diatonic scale arpeggio on a chord of seven children to give you an idea of how the replacement arpeggio.

On a Dm7 chord more obvious choice of scale to play, it would be a D Dorian scale or an arpeggio Dm7. That's good, but if we have play over this chord seven minors for a long period of time, these two musical ideas are beginning to sound boring and predictable, so we need a way to find we can play arpeggios over this chord Dm7 to make it look more interesting.

First let's look at the D Dorian scale arpeggios and see what are hiding inside. The notes of the D Dorian scale is D, E, F, G, A, B, C and we have the following arpeggios, taking the first notes, third, fifth and seventh.

Dm7 (DFAC)

Em7 (EGBD)

Fmaj7 (F ACE)

G7 (GBDF)

Am7 (ACEG)

Bm7b5 (BDFA)

Cmaj7 (CEGB)

Ok, now we have our original patterns can play any one of these on a Dm7 chord to sound more interesting. You may be wondering why we can not simply use the D Dorian scale over the whole thing and answer simple we want to break away from just playing scales and start creating more melodic solos and interesting. If you just play the scale on the chord progression is the will starting to sound too predictable and not draw the attention of the listener.

All replacements that we have to look far diatonic and were all from the most obvious scale. We can also replace the arpeggios and melodic minor harmonic minor to create a very exotic and most of jazzy sound. In fact most of the sound of bebop jazz is the replacement of arpeggio to create harmony implicit interesting.

Common Substitutions

We must now look at some of the most common substitutions arpeggio.

1.) Min7 arpeggio played on the 3rd degree a major chord

This creates a sound type major9. For example, we could play and Em7 arpeggio over a Cmaj7 chord to create a sound Cmaj9. This is because the Em7 arpeggio contains the note D, which is the great 9 C.

2.) Arpeggio min7 played in 6th grade is a major chord

This is another common substitution. If we were to play an Am7 chord on a Cmaj7 we obtain a sound type C6.

3.) Arpeggios Major7 played on the degree of b3rd minor chord

This substitution is used to create a sound type minor9. If we're playing on a chord Cmin7 for example, we can build a chord Major7 out the degree b3rd that this case is Eb. So if we play a Ebmaj7 arpeggio on a chord Cmin have a sound type Cmin9.

4.) Decreased 7 arpeggio played on the degree of 3 dominant chord

This is a place of great resonance, which creates a sound type 7b9. For example, try playing an arpeggio Edim7 on a C7 chord involve a tone C7b9.

Try some of these examples for yourself and see how much more interesting solos become once you start using the replacement of arpeggio. Adding these ideas into your own sound is a great way to begin to develop some type licks and jazz fusion.
