Drop Voicing Arpeggios (Essential Chord Shapes & Melodic Patterns)
ฝัง

- Master your Drop Voicing chords with these modern arpeggio shapes & patterns!
Drop Voicings on the #guitar are an essential chordal system. They provide a huge amount of discovery for your chord shapes which will develop your harmonic visualisation and fretboard knowledge.
I started playing around with using both a Drop 2 and Drop 3 voicing in the form of single note lines by arpeggiating them. It quickly occurred to me that this sounded very musical within the context of a phrase and that It was also a great way to learn these Drop #chords on the guitar.
In this video I discuss a single note pattern using Drop 2, Drop 3, and Close Voiced #arpeggios to help you master these chord shapes on the guitar. These arpeggio patterns are fun to practice as they sound great to use within your solos when improvising. This exercise has many benefits if practiced in the right way!

Thank you so much for sharing this essential information. Your next coffee is on me💯
Great stuff! You're offering something quite different and valuable. Your production quality and musicality are top notch.
I was one of your patreon in the past so I know the quality of your documents. It is worth it. I will liketly be one of your patreon again in the future. For now however I need to focus on other musical lesson/concept that I have already started.
Thanks again for your hard work.
The sick part is how easy he makes it look. On top of that, is the incredible tone, dexterity, and clarity. Always something to take away. Thanks for posting.
I completely agree; Robbie is a fantastic player and teacher!
One of the most intelligent and genius guitar player in the world. I love how logical and mathematical his approach is.
His patreon is 🔥🔥🔥
Check out mick goodrick. He's next level
Intelligent people have a hard time turning this off when it’s time to let go and just play. Not saying he has that issue. Joe Diorio recommended starting every practice session by just playing and not judging. I think for that very purpose.
Do you?
This is the best guitarist that teaches on youtube.
Don't normally comment on videos, but this is truly an excellent production in both quality and depth. Such gorgeous examples of your own playing and approach. I could listen to hours of your performances!
That's incredibly kind of you, thanks for the lovely comment!
I loved my guitar professors in university but I honestly wish we would've gone into this kind of playing after learning all the Drop Voicing back then. It seemed like we learned all these voicings to just sound like every other guitar player in a comping type setting but your way of connecting these chord shapes to make lines is such a fresh way to look at these voicings and to create another way of implementing the work of learning new voicings. Thank you for making these videos!!
Great to see you back making more of these concept based practice videos - you are still unique in giving to us all the kind of depth and precision of information about modern improvisation concepts for guitar that we would otherwise only get from a degree-level course, and your production quality is up there with the best.
Thank you so much for these videos. I've been stuck at the same level with guitar for yeeeears now and I don't have access to guitar teachers or anyone who can help me out where I live. Very much appreciated! 🙏
My pleasure! Thanks for following the channel.
If you post more often I’m sure you will be the biggest guitar teacher on TH-cam
I'm a BIG fan of your playing and your videos!
Very interesting and original.
I was afraid you were quitting making videos.
Glad your back!
Keep it up!😊
Thank you for a new video! They don’t come often, but you provide ideas for weeks/months of practice.
Brilliant concepts, clarity of complex thought, precision execution, and sublime production. Thank you and all the best, Robbie!
I am only halfway through and I'm blown away by this. I had to stop to just say great work and THANK YOU, this is introducing a concept that I'd only been aware of as an idea rather than something I used regularly, and making an absolutely beautiful sounding exercise of it. This is awesome, made me pick up my guitar and learn it.
That’s wonderful to hear! Thanks for the lovely comment.
Robbie- your tutorials are top level stuff. The quality of thought, presentation, production, playing etc etc are unmatched. Theres so much to unpack in these 18 minutes- months of unpicking and applying these concepts awaits!
That's incredibly kind of you to say! Glad you enjoy the vids, thanks for watching!
Oh snap! Drop 2s & 3s are exactly what I've been working on! Stoked for this Robbie!
Nice one! Thanks Justin!
Waouh this its beautiful as drops of rainy water a sunny day . Far from my level but MR thanxx to you Now I finally know where I want to go .❤
Merci beaucoups /
I love how you apply theory to create useful improvising rudiments... congratulations!
Thanks!
Thanks Robbie. This channel has so much natural, yet logical creativity to offer. I’d started to think that “modern” music was destined to be the work of a computer, or yet another re-hash from the past, but this is pure musical Sci-fi or should that be “Science Non-fiction” because it’s presented logically and REALLY really well (and I’m no JS Bach!)
This is one of the most creative and musical ways to learn fluid movement around the fretboard I’ve come across, it really connects some bits of knowledge I had but wasn’t able to put together completely. Thank you!
Glad you like it! Thanks for the comment!
A spectacular and lovely challenge awaits me! So much territory to explore in this video - the sonic horizon expands before me - thank you so much!
That's wonderful! Thanks for watching!
Dude this is sick! You’ve given us a ton to unpack here. I play the harpejji and I can’t wait to sink my fingers into these lines. Thanks a mill!
My pleasure! Thanks so much for watching!
I think you are different...you don't know the inspiration you provide...I am 57 years old, I have been playing since I was 6...I look at you and listen and I want to continue learning. Your work is admirable. greetings from Argentina. incredible...
I just watch these to expand my mind.
Glad to see a new video. Your content is always so well done. Incredible job, world class playing.
These are absolutely beautiful. I already started putting these to use. And because they’re chords getting these patterns under your fingertips aren’t all that hard. Now playing them as fast as you execute them…that’s a different story. Thank you 🙏 for this awesome tool. God bless
Thanks for checking out the video and for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it!
This is pure gold. 👏👏👏👏
Brilliant. Soulful..... and Amazing backing vibe tracks.
Thank you!
That's some bloody lovely guitar playing, and a great lesson. Many thanks. Wicked. ❤
Thanks a lot!
Another inspiring, brilliant, lesson Robbie. So far I've spent about two hours over two days on the first 9 minutes...Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and skills with us!
Thanks for watching and for the lovely comment! Glad you enjoyed the vid!
This is the best guitar playing I've heard on TH-cam. Great, Robbie! And VERY generous of you to share your hard, lonely work you've done in the shed with us...Thanks from New York City, my man...
Cheers for this! Your videos are always bang on.
These are cool man! I’m sure trying these will open up some new connections on the fretboard. My drop 3 game has been wanting some attention.
Perfect!
He really knows his stuff!...total pro!...
Another great thorough lesson that offers tons of material to practice
Thanks for the kind words!
Another excellent tutorial! And you dropped this one on my birthday 🎉 what a great gift. Thanks for what you do!

My pleasure! Thanks for watching and for the kind words.
Great clip, Robbie, I stumbled on a similar approach, teaching bass guitar before I went into retirement. You are definitely one of the best guitar channels on TH-cam!
That's too kind, thanks for following!
Grazie per le tue spiegazioni, molto utili per ampliare lo studio della chitarra... 👍
The YT algorithm did me a solid putting that cat on my feed 👍🏾
This is big ty !
wow this sounds so nice!
It's great you have uploaded videos again, with such quality I guess it should take you a lot of time in producing them, Thanks!
Thanks for doing what you do! Every time you upload it's pure quality.
thanks for the quality content , im going to practice this for the next 2-3 hours
That's nice to hear! Thanks for checking out the vid!
wow beautiful song.
Haven’t watched one of your videos in a while, but your eloquence, skill and passion are all quite impressive.
Nice how you present things
Thanks Chap👍✌️
Thanks for watching!
Amazing. Thanks Robbie. Tim
Thanks for watching Tim!
I do his reverse cycle arpeggios exercise everyday it really wakes up your fingers!
Excellent job. Video, Playing, explaining, complete package.
Thanks for watching!
@@RobbieBarnby Your execution is clean, and clear. Obviously theory schooled. I like the arpeggio stuff. It gets me away from running up/down the scale. But I don't want to sound like I'm playing an arpeggio. The same with other scales. My thinking the easy listener is slow. They want to hear something familiar as well as easy to listen. Not me running off a bunch of arps. Joe Pass played songs; within seconds the listener knew what song he was playing. The improv was the song.
Dope, haven’t even watched yet but I know what im working on today. Thanks for the great videos.
That's awesome! Thanks for watching!
YES!
finally! a new video
Great playing and very good explainations ! Thx !
Thanks for watching!
nice thank you
Excellent! Guess the tricky bit is to make these voicings sound musical.
This video is gold! awesome ideas and more awesome playing
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
This video has the potential of completelly changin your way of playing, your language and vocabulary. As usual, brilliant, my friend.
Omg you are quite masterful...
Thanks!
Thanks so much! That’s incredibly kind and generous of you.
Love the exercise because it's melodic right from the start, I been doing some interesting stuff with the drop two voicings you sent me got me interested in jazz again. Thanks again David Bahar Edinburgh
Thanks David! That's great to hear!
Really great teaching style Robbie..congrats
Thanks for watching!
that intro bro🤯 !!!!!
Robbie - thanks for this great info...at the risk of being redundant, you are so musical and kind for sharing this gold
Thanks! That's really kind of you to say!
Sick
Maestro..,ya nice Bruh!
Nice editing. I just found your channel and I like your style
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant 🤟🤠🤟
Thanks a lot!
Bless you for using color and using a black background.
Why? Does it make it easier for you?
hi Robbie, how do you get those bass tones on 6th string? thank you, you are amazing, suchj an inspiration
That guitar sound and tone is like nothing I've heard before!!! it's heavenly. Does it have the eventide effect on it?
Jump to 9:05 if you want your mind blown instantly!😊
Thanks Robbie! Your vids are always so well organized and presented. Quick question...bc I can't quite tell from the vid...are you using a jazz III pick?
Thanks a lot! I'm using a 'D'Andrea Pro Plec' pick.
always have to commend the gaps of uploads to let your lessons sink in before introducing another lesson/video.

What tab software is this? Great video as usual.
cool
Have you thought about using live fret at all? I find it super useful to be able to see the notes on the fret board as you play them live. Then I get to skip straight to the visualising :) love your lessons.!!
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out!
Great Vid. Already subscribed. How do I get this lesson on paper.
Thanks a lot! All the PDF material is available on my Patreon page (Tier 2): patreon.com/robbiebarnby
Oh, the annual video, nice ! 😜
Hey I had a question - how are you doing the whooshy chord thing at the end of a run to state the chord you’re arpeggiating? It sounds like a half wood/half string synthy thing. Very nice.
I often use a 'Freeze' pedal (routed to some independent delays). But I also like to add some backing pads in post to give more harmonic context for the single note line examples. Thanks for watching!
One quick question: Obviously the connecting non-chord tones can be found on other strings. Have you found a particular benefit to the strings choices shown or do you recommend experimenting with alternatives? Thanks!
Thanks for the question! I definitely recommend experimenting with other options and finding what you like the sound of. For these examples, I chose the added notes based on what I found flowed best for each pattern/phrase whilst keeping the focus on the Drop Voicing chord shapes being intact. However, I did find other variations that were nice which even included repeated intervals for the filler notes. Thanks again!
Great! Much appreciated.
