"Hi, John Aguilar again today we are going to do arpeggios. Simple arpeggios and of course we start in the key of C. There's our pinky finger of our left hand on C. E with the third finger or middle finger. Thumb on G. That's an arpeggio there. We will do it with the right hand. Thumb, middle finger and pinky. and we will put them together. There's arpeggios. That's a C arpeggio. This is a C chord. An arpeggio is just a broken C chord. In this case C because we are doing the key of C. And we will cross our left hand over to hit that C up there. So we can end a tune like that. Suppose we have a tune that goes like this. That's a nice way to come to a beautiful ending. We can do a hand over hand arpeggio which covers more of the keyboard. We can go. And that's a beautiful ending and that's a simple arpeggio. Hand over hand, hand over hand covering more of the keyboard. Basic arpeggio. Fourth triad."
