Movable Arpeggio Scale for Any Guitar Key

In music, an arpeggio is a broken chord where the notes are played or sung in sequence, one after the other, rather than ringing out simultaneously. The word, like many other musical terms, originates from Italian, in which it means "in the manner of the harp". These are formed from scales, The arpeggio is based on the relative scale playing the "key" notes or those affected the the key signature. For more information on arpeggios check out Wikipedia.

This pattern can be moved up and down the fret board depending on the key you are in. Find your starting or root note on either the 6th or the 1st string. Then you can play combinations of these notes based on this pattern for soloing or accents to your songs.

For soloing, play any of these notes over any of the chords of the key you are in. I find the higher notes on the top often work better, but low notes are cool also.

Minor Petnatonic Movable Soloing Scale for Blues, Rock, or Latin

Our latest chart is a soloing scale for the Minor Pentatonic Scale for Blues, Rock or Latin music for any key.

This pattern is used for playing guitar solos for blues, rock or latin songs. It is a movable pattern because all of the strings are closed and it can be used for any key. Starting on the 6th string locate the note that matches the key you are playing in. You can now play this pattern or parts of it over the chords of the key and it should sound pretty good, i.e. key of C starts on the C note at the 8th fret on the 6th string, G would start at the 3rd fret.

You can play notes from this pattern while someone else plays the song. Or put some notes in at the end of a phrase for an accent or solo.

Movable Soloing Scale for Folk or Country Music, Any Key

This chart shows a Major Movable Soloing Scale for Folk or Country Music for any key. Great for playing soloing notes over a song while someone else is playing or you can use it to add accent notes to your own playing.

This pattern is used for playing guitar solos for folk and country songs. It is a movable pattern because all of the strings are closed and it can be used for any key. Starting on the 6th string locate the note that matches the key you are playing in. You can now play this pattern or parts of it over any of the chords of the key and it should sound pretty good, i.e. key of C starts on the C note at the 8th fret on the 6th string, key of A would start at the 5th fret. For the key of G some of the notes use the guitar nut or are open strings.

I find that the higher notes on strings 1 and 2 stand out better because of the pitch but all of them work.

Guitar and Mandolin Chord Charts

I was at guitar camp a number of years ago, out on the porch, it was dark and hard to see the song that I had printed off the internet in my jam notebook. I had only started playing guitar and taking the lead on a song in a circle was a big deal. And then I couldn't read the page. It just fell apart. But it gave me the beginning of an idea, to reprint these song pages in nice big type so I can read them in the dark. And that lead me to a second idea, how about some charts for all those guitar or mandolin chords that could also be read in the dark or just easily at a glance.

In the beginning of learning to play the guitar I searched and searched for nice clear information on how to play. I printed out all kinds of pages from the web, most only had half or two thirds of the info I was looking for. Or it was three chords I needed and 35 I didn't. So over the last number of years I have been working on putting together some nice clear charts with the information I have been looking for and making it nice and big so I can read it at a glance.
