In this tutorial you’ll learn 3 very simple arpeggio shapes to create some very interesting and sophisticated sounds that you can use in Jazz, Fusion and Rock improvisations and compositions.
The 3 shapes are based upon the Maj7, Maj7b5 or Maj7#11 and Maj7#5 arpeggio. Using them in the right way will enable you to play modal instantly. From simple major and minor sound to modes of the major scale (dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian and Locrian) to the beautiful modes of the melodic minor scale like Lydian augmented and Lydian dominant.
