"Spicy" arpeggio shapes?

Carrion · 12-16-2007, 12:23 PM

Anybody have arpeggio shapes that are outside the norm, so to speak? I find myself playing the same old and I am in the mood for something different.

Metal Ken · 12-16-2007, 12:28 PM

a shape i've been messing with recently:

E------------7-8-12-8-7---------------
B-----------8------------8-------------
G---------9----------------9-----------
D-7-9-10----------------------10-9-7--

Uber Mega · 12-16-2007, 01:39 PM

Try playing this one!

E|------------7--------------
B|----------7---7------------
G|--------7-------7----------
D|------7-----------7--------
A|----7---------------7------
E|--7-------------------7----

...i'm just messing ofcourse, i'm really in the same boat as yourself, i'd love some new shapes to play around with aswell

Too much whammy.

She's good though.

I really like the sound the Maj7 #11 arp's...

-----------------------------------11-12-16-12-11-----------
------------------9-11-16-11-9-12-----------------12-11-----
----8-9-15-9-8-9----------------------------------------------
--9------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------

Not sweeping or anything, mostly legato and tapping. But the notes in the chord (Emaj7 #11) are E G# B D# A#.

Check out the 'licks' section. There're some super-nice intervallic arpeggios.

I must admit I only really use triads and a few 9ths n 7ths for like faster multiple octave arpeggios.

A shape that I've been using alot is this major 9th starting on the 5:

Here it is in C

E--------------12--15--12------------
B-----------15------------15-----------
G----12--17------------------12--17---

Obviously for minor just drop the 3rd to 11 on the E.
