Have you ever wondered what makes some guitar music sound so beautiful and harp-like? Aside from strumming and finger-picking, arpeggios are one of the most evocative and interesting ways of using the guitar to express chord changes and melodies. Essentially arpeggios break chords apart into their individual notes to create a sweeping sensation that rises and falls, resulting in a mountain or wave-like shape.
In this class, you will learn how to arpeggiate major and minor chords in different positions and begin to explore the guitar from a new perspective. Learning arpeggios will help you deepen your knowledge of how chords work, what notes belong to them, and develop a more sophisticated technique for the right and left hands.

Project is a blog, youtube channel, series of courses and events,
instrument store and a collective of musicians who want to help you use
music as a tool for uplifting yourself and others around you.
On
our site you will find tips and tutorials to help you become a better
musician, didgeridoo lessons, instrument features and reviews, and
reports on the latest scientific research and spiritual discoveries
merging through the medium of sound.
When
we began in 2008 our main focus was on teaching how to play the
didgeridoo, a wind instrument originating in aboriginal Australia and
also said to be present in ancient Mayan times. After working with
countless people it became apparent that most musicians play multiple
instruments and that we have the community resources to help all
musicians get better results. While we still provide didgeridoo lessons,
classes and programs, our focus is to provide tutorials for music and
instruments from all around the world. Visit us for great music
