Finger Style Arpeggios: Guitar Harmonics

Video Transcript

"CASEY CORMIER: Okay, let's look at some arpeggiation. We'll be doing this with finger style playing. Basically, it's very Latin influenced, okay. Basically, what this is think about D minor, for example. There's a D minor bar chord, okay. The arpeggio D minor is the one intervals, 1, flat 3, and 5 here, and if we have a seven, then it's the flat seven. And so, we get to do this high. So, let's do the quick arpeggio here, D, 1, flat 3, 5, and 7. Well, we can keep our thumb here first on the G string, our first finger here, and so, the first thing you have under B, the second under E, but we're going to use third too. So, we do this, this fingering and this happens over here on the left hand, we end up using our fourth finger to get that 7th fret. So, this can happen if we're playing a solo in D minor. You're playing the key of D minor and we're just playing around. It could also happen if we're playing in the key of F major as a relative minor, right. Okay, so try using, experimenting with arpeggiation of minor 7th chords."
