All these patterns are simply means to achieve an end: hitting the chord tones. Then there's the issue of which note to hit and in what context. What these discussions always seem to lack is that transition between chords. I sorta assume the authors just leave it to the audience how to figure it out because, let's face it, just playing a pattern over a chord is fragmented if not kinda lame. So my strategy is a bit more simple: target your note (root or 3rd, sometimes 5th) and practice on how to get there from the previous chord. There are natural ways to get from a note of one chord to a note in the next chord to make the sound melodic. Then expand my vocabulary of those paths. For example, in your example of Amaj7 arpeggio, going from 7th to root sounds good because of that chromatic effect. Check. I'll use it. But suppose you want to target 3rd. Going from 5th to 3rd sounds just too abrupt, then I'll add the 4th (and even b5) in between. You may say yeah but you're using the major/minor scale. That's why I don't particularly just follow any pattern. That's not to say arpeggio isn't good. I especially like using the dim7 (or even dominant 7) arpeggio as the tension to go to (some note of) another chord. I wish someone out there who's had so much experience with soloing would, for example, take a solo over a chord progression and explain to us the ideas behind it as the artist goes from one chord to another (or even stay in the same chord). Why does he choose this over (whatever)? That sort of thing. That analysis is probably more valuable than any other patterns or tricks or what have you out there.
I know it can be annoying sometimes when people criticize the creators but I do agree with their point. Theres a million videos about patterns and scales but they all just say the same thing and dont put it into context. It WOULD help to take a song and show the context of how this all relates.
Guess what, for me it has done wonders immeasurable wonderful,why, okay it's like this,if you're not fuckin lazy you can add additional notes to even go further, and that's the art of learning this is one of the best thing that has happened to me since I'm learning to solo, thank you so much ma man, BLESS YOU 🙏
A really beautiful part of guitar is all the patterns are basically easy….. yet mastering then break them to make music on the instrument is a life long pursuit.
I always refer to that first pattern as the Doug Aldrich pattern. It really helps you learn the 7-1-3-5 notes of the key quickly in multiple places on the fretboard.
I just got your beginning guitarist playbook and just going thru the first several pages tells me that this was a great investment in my guitar hero journey of a thousand licks! I truly suggests that everyone should have this book if nothing else for clarity and a different way of approaching learning guitar.
I agree with you, and I think it took me more than 20 years to figure out it, which I did, but only when I started considering an exhaustive approach to scales and arpeggios. The key insight is to start on the 7th instead of staring on the tonic - then things fall into place. Once you get the patterns, you can start on any of the notes. Another way to get this is by playing the usual ascending A minor pentatonic starting with the index finger on the G on the 6th string, 3rd fret, then drop the 4th of the scale (the D), and you have the A minor 7 arpeggio. From there you can get the major 7, dominant 7, minor 7♭5, diminished, major 6th, etc. (I'll bet Django used your major 7 trick, playing the whole thing with fingers 1 and 2.)
It's very easy to overlook simple patterns when books and charts show us six string scales etc. There are so many patterns I should have known a looooooong time ago but just missed out somehow. :). Thanks for watching!
I enjoy your demeanor so much! TH-cam is so often soiled with shouty abrasive talking, it's so refreshing to see someone treating their viewers like grownups!
I recently just discovered the first pattern (major7) because I wonder why I saw that pattern In so many solos and riffs, like the solo in poison was the cure, John Petrucci's solo in Erised and the chorus riff in 22 faces by Periphery Amazing Video
Great video, spoken clear and precise, very calm, so I could understand and absorb what you were saying, unlike most of the American fast and furious videos with lots of hand gestures, well done young man.
Thank you so much! So much of what slows us down in learning is just overcomplicating simple things. I still do it all the time and have to call myself on it! :)
Hello Paul, thanks for sharing your knowledge. As you mention, I would like you to create a video about how to target notes and approach them in a I IV V blues progression. Have a good one, thanks again.
PAUL WARREN, you going to make any phrasing 101 lessons? because santana does question and answer phrases ending on the 2nd, 4th and 6th scale degrees makes it sound more spanish rock and other question and answer phrases ending on the 5ths, 3rds, Tonic of the key. I'm not sure what other rock guitarist do this but also Dickie Betts will end on the 5th for the question phrase and end on the tonic/key for the answer. The hard part is ending answer phrases on the 2nd, 4th and 6th scale degree to make it NOT sound "Angular", what are some tips to go over in the phrasing 101 lessons.
HARMONICALY SMART. can u play, I Found The Lilly in My Valley , Bryan Haynes and put the chord charts in upper corner for my Birthday May 19th? Thank You 👍
Love the JP signature Majesty! It's great that they make them in "Hi-Vis" colours, too! Very safety conscious, can potentially prevent on stage accidents and incidents, no more clumsy bassists bumping into you during the lead break!😂😂😂👍
Ha ha! I've been using this Majesty like crazy since I got it. If you haven't seen it already, I did a review of it. :) th-cam.com/video/V6rnXzvpRpo/w-d-xo.html
Nuno Bettencourt was rocking these patterns hard 30+ years ago. Listen to the opening of Mutha Don't wanna go to school today from the first extreme album. I've been using this stuff ever since hearing him do it way back then. So efficient and versatile.
I just re-listened to Mutha, he's only using a one octave version in that tune. There must be one where he does it over 3 octaves, or maybe that was just an innovation I built upon his 1 octave version. Maybe Vai does somethinf similar in Eugene's trick bag from crossroads. I find it super handy for pentatonic fragments shredded over 3 octaves too.
@@PaulWarrenMusic It was not my goal to make the fret buzz the number one comment... Nobody notice it unless someone say it 😞 Your video is interresting in the way you articulate on the fretboard the different patern scales in one mouvement. Thank you
Great lesson Paul! I was wondering as I was watching this is do these arpeggios only work over 7th chords or can you use these patterns over a straight major, minor chord progression for example a C - F - G - Am progression?
Thanks for the lesson Paul! Could i clarify something please, and please, excuse my ignorance! So if i'm playing over a 1/4/5 progression in the key of A, i use the Maj7 pattern for 1 & 4, and then for the 5 chord i use the Dom7 pattern? And if i'm playing same 1/4/5 over an A minor progression, do i use the Min7 pattern for 1 & 4, and the Dom7 again for the 5 ? Appreciate your time mate, thank you :)
Thank you Mr. Warren, been playing in different bands and genres for 62 years, but never thought or known of these straight forward patterns. At last, I feel as though I’ve got something new to play. Regards. Vic - Hampshire England
Thank you for watching and sharing your experiences. It's true, so many patterns, shapes and approaches are things we never run across for a long time. I'm glad you found this interesting and I hope it helps you play in yet another way! :)
Thank you!! I'm sorry you didn't get the tab. You should have received an email with a link to download the files. If you don't get that email, let me know and I'll get the tab to you. :)
Without being rude, I feel uncaring to everyone that say it took 20 yrs to figure out ! It took me over 40 yrs without knowing what I was playing . Every now and then I would stumble across this by accident, leaving a smile on my face, without remembering what transpired. Now I know..Cheers for the info, From an old and frustrated guitarist ...:)
I'm also an old and frustrated guitarist too, ha. But we're all on the learning journey and we're always going to stumble on new info that helps us view this instrument from another perspective. I hope this was a helpful video and I really do appreciate you watching! :)
Just discovered your channel. Great lesson and very well explained and awesome diagrams. How did yo get that shimmery sounds when you play your guitar it sounded so beautiful.
I'm glad you found the channel and appreciate the diagrams. Those take loads of time to create, for sure. :) The tone I was using a Mesa Lonestar model with some tape delays and reverb. I can't take credit for it, as I just downloaded it from the Neural cloud into my Quad Cortex. :). Thank you for watching!
Enjoyed it. I know maj 7 arps but this is a slightly different approach. I will work with it and see what happens. Now I have to ask you How the guitarist stole the Grinch's guitar.
Thanks so much for watching! It is really quite different than what most guitarists do for arps, but it's quite effective I think. Have fun working on them! :) Btw, here's my review of the Grinch's guitar. :) th-cam.com/video/V6rnXzvpRpo/w-d-xo.html
Thinking of the 4 chordarpeggio as an A arpeggio, as you did with the E chord arpeggio..."you can play the A dominant seventh arpeggio over the E chord."
Yes, I think when I mentioned the 5 chord in the key of A, which is E, I probably confused some. The 5 chord is the dominant and that's why I mentioned the E, but then I moved it back to the A to simply show how all these shapes are played from the same root note. So in an A Major blues, you would play the dominant 7 shape from the A(1), the D(4) and the E(5). I wish I hadn't mentioned that E at all as I do think that's a bit confusing. :). I hope my clarification here is helpful. Thank you for watching!
Thanks Paul...still confused...so in the blues if I want to play an arpeggio over the 4 chord, do I start the arpeggio shape on the D note or the A note, ditto for the 5 chord, do I start the arpeggio on the E note or the A note...actually,, start is probably not the best word because we'd be "starting" for the Amaj7 arpeggio on the G#, etc. In the video, you "started" the E arpeggio on the A note, which I thought was cool and saved brain waves @@PaulWarrenMusic
@@blindponyband Sorry I'm still confusing you. But yes, for an A7, start it with the root on the A. For the D, or 4 chord, start it with the root on the D. Then for the E, you would do the same thing and start with the Dom7 root on the E. That E arpeggio I played in the video was only to show what the Dom7 sounds like. I shouldn't have played it there really, because it has led to some confusion. I should have kept everything on the A. So when I played the Dom7 arpeggio and you see the pattern on the graphic, that is always Adom7 that I'm playing. You will need to move that shape to each Dom7 chord you want to play. So this shape here: th-cam.com/video/QSDcEWwi1aY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=E_efpj97CkmmANZO&t=347
Yes, you can use the A Major 7 over the A chord in a major key. You can also use the A Dom 7 over the A chord for a bluesy sound or if the A chord is the 5 chord in the key (Key of D for example). I thought of putting in a little bit of improvising, but I was trying to fit as much teaching info in there as possible because so many people want the lessons as short as possible. But yes, I think I probably will include more of that in future videos. :) Thanks for watching!
Yes, the fret buzz has become the number one comment. :). I should have turned the truss rod before shooting, but didn't have much time and forgot. Thanks for watching!
I'm imagining how I would work these into a solo. Would you link them together and think of the second arpeggio as being the fourth fifth 7th and 9th of the original A key?
As an older beginner, I would like you to continue basic techniques and chords, because discouragement is what keeps people from learning how to play, and we buy guitars not to be quitters
got a new sub for your clarity! also, i was today years old when i found out that zelda OOT deku tree soundtrack uses an arrangement dominant 7 chords.
@ 4:00 there's a lot of synth sound going on while you play. Where is this coming from? Are you using some MIDI synth on your guitar or is it also from the QC?
Good question. :) Any time you hear synth, it's just a Logic track playing the actual chord that I'm arpeggiating to give it musical context. Thanks for watching!

A7 - using the leading tone G# actually kinda blew my mind.
Thanks!
Also everyone can lower the last note of 4 so it will be g#ac#d# - it can sound great on a chord B7 or F#m. Any others changes can help too)))

Great lesson. Thanks. So, you covered the 1 chord, the 5 chord and the dominant seventh...what arpeggio would you play over the 4 chord in the blues?
Thinking of the 4 chordarpeggio as an A arpeggio, as you did with the E chord arpeggio..."you can play the A dominant seventh arpeggio over the E chord."
Yes, I think when I mentioned the 5 chord in the key of A, which is E, I probably confused some.

So this shape here: th-cam.com/video/QSDcEWwi1aY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=E_efpj97CkmmANZO&t=347
Awesome Paul thank you sounds great very helpful God bless
Thank you very much! I appreciate you watching the video! :)
Hi, I am curious what effects you’re playing through ?
Great, but would be nice to hear yoiu play it using that fancy QC and a nice backing track. So we use this over any A major chord in any key?
Yes, you can use the A Major 7 over the A chord in a major key. You can also use the A Dom 7 over the A chord for a bluesy sound or if the A chord is the 5 chord in the key (Key of D for example). I thought of putting in a little bit of improvising, but I was trying to fit as much teaching info in there as possible because so many people want the lessons as short as possible. But yes, I think I probably will include more of that in future videos. :) Thanks for watching!
Yes, makes a lot of sense using the 4 notes of the chord into a pattern.
1st time the lesson has actually been helpful thanks
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and I'm glad it was helpful!
I want that guitar!! 🤩Gorgeous colour.
Thanks!! I love the color as well and am so happy Musicman was able to paint this one! :)
There is a fret buzz on the 6 E string...
Interesting video.
Yes, the fret buzz has become the number one comment. :). I should have turned the truss rod before shooting, but didn't have much time and forgot. Thanks for watching!
I'm imagining how I would work these into a solo. Would you link them together and think of the second arpeggio as being the fourth fifth 7th and 9th of the original A key?
Nice arpeggio lesson & insights.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate you watching and I hope it's helpful!

Thanks a lot 🙇🏻♂️
Thank you very much! So glad it was a help!
As an older beginner, I would like you to continue basic techniques and chords, because discouragement is what keeps people from learning how to play, and we buy guitars not to be quitters
I will definitely keep lots of basic techniques coming! I appreciate you being here to watch! Thank you!

Cliff Burton made good use of this on his bass solo Anaesthesia on Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All album.

Great lesson though, I'll be needing this.
Ha! Thanks for checking out the lesson! :)
@ 4:00 there's a lot of synth sound going on while you play. Where is this coming from? Are you using some MIDI synth on your guitar or is it also from the QC?
Good question. :) Any time you hear synth, it's just a Logic track playing the actual chord that I'm arpeggiating to give it musical context. Thanks for watching!
Good notes. Action might be a little low on those bottom strings. 🍻
Really explained well, thanks
Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking the time to check it out!
what do you mean i dont have to play every note in the scale?
