Thank you for sharing so much with us Rick, and giving such an insight to your approach! I'm time linking to be able to come back during my practice routine.. Cheers!
Periph1989 Yes, you are correct. But I wrote it this way to remind me how he’s personally breaking it down, which is that his real intention is play the 7 chords, but he’s compromising the intervals for the sake of shred, and economy of motion. More to understand his approach and have a reference for them than it is to name it for everyone else.
@@mattchimes Basic chords are Just EVERY OTHER NOTE...dude He Cound has easy played....1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13..for the first shape lmao instead. so you can get all of them..depend where you count as the ROOT. b7 ?? will shit...that's just DOMINANT as is F# minor G# dim #11...that's just Lydian is in B MAJOR/ G# min It's just a GUIDE becuase there;s other scales with other modes. i just keep track of 4-ea arpeggios....( Im going to warp a lot of it anyways).....1, 3, 5, b7 mix mix b2 mix b6 mix b2, b6 mix #4 mix #2, #4 Mix b2, #4 loc b4 phrygian b4 dorian b2, b4 Min b7 will simply be...

Rick you are amazing. You're a killer shredder, but you simplify these concepts in such an amazing way. Thank you. These shapes will help my playing a lot.
this was great. i needed some new arpeggios, i've been smashing the same ones for a year now lol. i've been playing for 30 years, many of them professionally but i've only just gotten into them and i really enjoy the sound and freedom it adds to moving around the neck when improvising a solo
Very interesting !!! Thank you for this shapes of arpeggios ! They're really easy to learn and we can use them really easily in the play. Thanks from France !
The dominant 7th has been my most favourite and oft played chord. Now that you've taught me the arpeggio, I am thrilled beyond imagination in its application in soloing. Thanks a million Rick. God bless you...I know He will!!
Good stuff, I like this approach of going through all 7th chords comparatively, just like they taught us at uni. Only thing missing is augmented 7th arpeggios.
Thank you so much Rick! Brilliant exercise and marvelous approach to beautiful arpeggios. Sounds really complicated and professional but when there's a skillful teacher like you, it makes it really easy and hassle free to learn!
Hey do you know if he picks every note of the first shape? Or are there any pull offs or hammer ons? I’m beginning with sweep picking and arpeggios and I’m not sure if these are supposed to be played sweeped or just ultra fast picking
@@MiaQuacko So he's doing hammer ons and pull offs on all the strings that have 2 notes. For all the strings with one note they're being down picked or up picked. Down picked ascending and up picked descending. So with the pull offs you'll be starting the pull off with an up pick since you'll be descending when you pull of and all hammer ons ascending will be down picked. Hope that helps I'm currently practicing these too.
@@colecameron6347 i memorized 3 of the shapes. Turns out with these shapes you can play the arpeggio sequence near the end of 'No Boundaries' by Michael Angelo Batio.. Im still nowhere near as good as Rick Graham because of the sheer amount of fretboard knowledge he has and his understanding of theory.
Hola Rick eres un virtuoso lo sabias ? Soy autodidacta .Mis influencias , john mclaughlin , joe pass , allan holdsworth , Frank Gambale y en Blues desde mi juventud ,Eric Clapton y Pappo guitarrista de mi país Argentina quien tocara con B.B King..Te admiro y siento cuando te escucho ganas dejar la guitarra jajaja...Tengo 61 años y he comprendido que nunca se termina de aprender Eres un excelente músico,TE FELICITO !!!
This would have been a top tier lesson if the guitar was in tune and wasn't too distorted. That doesn't mean this was a bad lesson though. Learned what I needed to but it could be a bit clearer tonally speaking
I know these videos are free, and I'm very appreciative of you posting them. Just a suggestion. Maybe play the arpeggios very slow a few times and only play it blazing fast once (To show what it can sound like fast). If you've ever learned anything off videos, you know it takes a few runs before you get what is being taught. Again, thank you for taking the time to record and post these, but they would be 10 times more effective for the student if you played them slow and steady a few times maybe even 4 or 5 times at a slow pace. Cheers!
nice one in one word mint cheered me up with that amazing arpeggio knollege how you can be sat on near close understanding of grate knowledge without realizing it thanks rick .
Nice, I'll bet "The Flight of the Bumblebee" is a piece of cake for you. Solid as a rock, Smooth as Silk, Fast as Lightning! Important info. Thank you for the free lessons. Will check the links.
Thank you very much for this!!! I will appreciate if you can do a lesson on the same arpeggios on G and C shapes as those shapes start with pinky finger on root and I find them more difficult. Thanks!!
Thanks Rick! I've been struggling with 1 million different ways to play 7th arpeggios fast. Especially major 7th and dominant major 7th. It's hard to find a comfortable form to stick to. The added 9th really helps aid that and keeps everything flowing fast, comfortable and clean! I'll work out the other positions... I've recently entered into the world of super advanced sweeping pentatonics. I'd love to see more on that subject. Not many people can do it and there is not a lot of info on it. And Or, 7th arpegios with 5 note sequences. Trying to work it out is like cracking the devincii code. All the different shape options, economy picks, sweeps ect... Trying to find the most efficient way for the sake of speed. Awesome playing by the way! You are one of just a few out there that has inspired me to Be a better guitarist! The first time I seen your stuff it made me feel like I was not a guitarist and I had been shredding for 20 years! I've spent a lot of time howning my technic. Watching your videos on TH-cam humbled me and helped me straighten out my guitar playing Thanks man! Rock it to the grave!!!
Excellent, excellent lesson, thank you for this video! However, I have to say, I don't get it why so many people still like to play Fender... it's giving you issues throughout this video (noise, tuning). I guess it's all preference.
Hey Rick ! I have learned so much from your TH-cam videos and your pre made lessons .. was wondering if you can make a lesson available for purchase on chords specifically, and how to visualize them during improvisation :)
rick bro,we do know u can play guitar...but a little bit slow down of ur speed would be a great help to learn ur lessons for beginners like few us n we'd be EXTREMELY thankful
Arkava Goswami if you are a beginner this may be too much at once, maybe if you’re intermediate this is a great lesson but if you’re just starting out this may be very overwhelming
I understand it all comes down to a lot of practice to get to this guy's level of expertise but f**k me that first part he done with speed shut me right up. Damn. You guys are good. Nice.
Because substituting the root for the 9th on minor will give you a weird stretch. Nothing says you can't do it tho, just like that damned major 7th tapped arpeggio from Guthrie Govan.
Hi Rick, Thanks, these are great fun to play around with but I do have one question. How do you yourself go about practicing these? With 14 notes in the loop for each arpeggio it makes playing them with metronome, a bit of a nightmare for me? Any advice, or is it just a case of getting your head around it. I mean, I can do it, but it not that easy as the speeds increase. Thanks, and all the best.
Towards the end he says that he usually picks the first note on each string then hammers-on the next. This is on the way up -- lower notes to higher notes. Then on the way back down he doesn't pick, it's all pull-offs (with "hammer-ons from nowhere", I guess, to start each string). But he also says to try different picking strategies, whatever sounds good to you. Check out the very end of the video.
Hey thanks for this. One question. The last two strings are tuned differently and this has made me confused time and again in playing these arpeggios. Can u help?
I like to alternate pick them but you'll find its daunting. If you want to pick each note.. it's easier to group the notes in 3, then do a sweep followed by alternate picking the next 2 notes. (Or vice versa )
I have a problem. I've got used to playing an sg and because the neck comes out further than most guitars when i play most others now they feel weird and too short help xD
I am now doing EXTREMELY WELL Rick, thank you.
Teach me how to BE WELL

Thank you for sharing so much with us Rick, and giving such an insight to your approach! I'm time linking to be able to come back during my practice routine.. Cheers!
are they really "add" 9 if you have the seventh in there?... shouldn't it just be Maj9 chords and Dom9 or 9th?
Periph1989 Yes, you are correct.

@@mattchimes Basic chords are Just EVERY OTHER NOTE...dude
He Cound has easy played....1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13..for the first shape lmao instead. so you can get all of them..depend where you count as the ROOT.

Thanks! This helps to get down to business.👍🏼
Rick you are amazing. You're a killer shredder, but you simplify these concepts in such an amazing way. Thank you. These shapes will help my playing a lot.
5:25 Rick just casually "adding some notes"
Stagg Jazzmaster i literally said "what the fuck" out loud when he did that lol
I actually just laughed out loud
He makes me hate myself lol
should make you want to practice.
Oh, it for sure does; doesn't make my statement any less true, though lol

Good stuff, I like this approach of going through all 7th chords comparatively, just like they taught us at uni. Only thing missing is augmented 7th arpeggios.
Yes, I should have thrown that in. Tend not to use it as much as these 5 so decided to leave it out. Thanks man.
Well now we know what our homework is! Maj/min 7, aug 5 (kinda "Holdsworthian"), etc.
Major arpeggio with #5
Thank you so much Rick! Brilliant exercise and marvelous approach to beautiful arpeggios. Sounds really complicated and professional but when there's a skillful teacher like you, it makes it really easy and hassle free to learn!
Since im just a mortal. I will take the first shape and work on it for a few weeks or months.. my brain can't handle any more in one go.
that shape is a beast!

This a very interesting and vital lesson that both renews and opens up the field for me.
Thank you.
Love the 9th sounds and they feel great.
your the most humble top shelf player . thank you for being so honest and inspiring bro.
Finally something for beginners
😂😂😂
Just waiting for something not for beginners
Ok. Liked and subscribed. Exactly the lesson i was looking for
This would have been a top tier lesson if the guitar was in tune and wasn't too distorted. That doesn't mean this was a bad lesson though. Learned what I needed to but it could be a bit clearer tonally speaking
Totally agree.

What a great lesson! Thank you very much. I will practice this stuff now.
Definitely Loved your mode explanation honestly just paying attention and do a couple things you do improved my playing tremendously
nice one in one word mint cheered me up with that amazing arpeggio knollege how you can be sat on near close understanding of grate knowledge without realizing it thanks rick .
Brilliant! Made me re-examine the way I've been doing things. 👍
As a sweep beginner, would you recommend learning these shapes first, or regular major & minor shapes? Thx
awesome stuff rick... kindly demo those 5 arpeggio shapes all over the neck... just like what u did in major 7th...thanks...
Thanks you so much Rick! Really helpful lesson! :)
Rick, you are a beast on guitar, love it!!
Nice, I'll bet "The Flight of the Bumblebee" is a piece of cake for you.
Solid as a rock,
Smooth as Silk,

great video. Very helpful. The tuning stability of the guitar though 😅😅😅....
Remarkable lesson.
Thanks I was looking for more of these
Great lesson, thank you 🤘
Thnk you for this ...... love it.... if possible plzzz post for video like this....
Another insanely useful lesson.
Ah, at least one channel that just has great guitar playing as it's content. There are enough "entertainers" out there.
Theosis78 true
Hey Rick ! I have learned so much from your TH-cam videos and your pre made lessons .. was wondering if you can make a lesson available for purchase on chords specifically, and how to visualize them during improvisation :)
How many times i need to repeat one shape to reach that speed like you?
Im flat floored by the effortlessness dude. Jeez man i did wake up feeling good now im pumped for the wife to go to work so i can crank it ☝
Ah dude!Great tip today!I´m already changing and adding stuff to this having loads of fun!!Thank you!!
Very talented, if only I had your hands and knowledge rick
5:25 he even laughs himself when he smashes that beast out 😂

Arkava Goswami if you are a beginner this may be too much at once, maybe if you’re intermediate this is a great lesson but if you’re just starting out this may be very overwhelming
@@jds2056 He should have indicated the level this was at - and pointed to a more starter level arpeggio video as well.
I understand it all comes down to a lot of practice to get to this guy's level of expertise but f**k me that first part he done with speed shut me right up. Damn. You guys are good. Nice.
Not that.just its fast.. i think its pretty okay.. you just need to memorize the shape and practice it 69 hours a day..
Your tone (and playing) is gorgeous.
Cool lesson thanx...qhy tuning issues? And dam those r some noisy pick ups I'll keep my vintage noiseless pick uos
any tips on how to do the picking on these arpeggios? Thanks a lot!
Master Rick Graham!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing exercises! What band do you play in?
great lesson Rick!
Such clean playing 😮
Man that's awesome genius who is this guy?
I wish you could explain the the downward sweep in depth, I can sweep upward very fast but downward is slower
Well one
Hello, Rick!
Do you have any lesson on chord progression improvisation?
Great video by the way.
Thanks Rick, Your lessons are great 👍 very helpful 🎸
Thanks a lot Rick..amazing stuff
Can you tell us what you’re using for amp and pedals if any?
I really like using the 9 and b3 over the minor 7th arpeggio
very helpful !, I only knew the very basic ones
Great Lesson. Thanks Rick. A little question. Why you use the ninth with major arpeggios but not with minor?
Andrés Santiago Uribe Guevara I think it's because the minor is easier to frett across the strings.
Because substituting the root for the 9th on minor will give you a weird stretch.
Nothing says you can't do it tho, just like that damned major 7th tapped arpeggio from Guthrie Govan.
Hi Rick, Thanks, these are great fun to play around with but I do have one question. How do you yourself go about practicing these?

It helps me alot thanks🤘
Need. More. Rick. Content.
great Mr.,absolute!thanks a lot.
Good info. I have no idea why massive overdrive is necessary tho.
Hi Rick. Do you have the tabs for your 5 arpeggio shapes for sale?
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Great great lesson.
does anyone know if you pick every single note on these arpeggios? are there any hammer ons or pull offs? wasn't sure from the video
Towards the end he says that he usually picks the first note on each string then hammers-on the next. This is on the way up -- lower notes to higher notes. Then on the way back down he doesn't pick, it's all pull-offs (with "hammer-ons from nowhere", I guess, to start each string).

I want to know indivisual finger vibreto exercise. please thanks
Great lesson 👍👍😎 Thanks 😁
Sure would be nice if you could slow it down for beginners.
Pause… Rewind pause… Rewind pause… Rewind pause… Rewind pause… Rewind😂 i’m just glad it’s available
Hey thanks for this. One question. The last two strings are tuned differently and this has made me confused time and again in playing these arpeggios. Can u help?
it's out of tune
Hertz! it hurts
..but great theory lesson !!
;~)
Hey Rick, what od/distortion pedal are you using? Or are you using amp dist?
I wanna hear this guy play! As well as learn!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
Rick, you only sub the 9th for the root on the major and dominant shapes and not the half diminished?
you can play it yourself and see if it sounds good. if you like it you can use it
thank you Rick. just one note : singular-arpeggio ; plural-arpeggi
I want to know if i am slow or normal...how long does it take to learn to fluently play a new arpeggio ?
Can these all be alternate picked as well Rick? Great lesson. Cheers.
Yes. I'd advise everyone to explore different methods of articulation. It's a healthy thing to do!
I like to alternate pick them but you'll find its daunting. If you want to pick each note.. it's easier to group the notes in 3, then do a sweep followed by alternate picking the next 2 notes. (Or vice versa )
If you had tabs below, you would have much more subscribers. Just a thought because I like the channel.
I have a problem. I've got used to playing an sg and because the neck comes out further than most guitars when i play most others now they feel weird and too short help xD
Al3x J4ck50n practice on other guitars until you adjust and become comfortable with them. It takes time.
i dont have other guitars im 15 lol
How about tuning to A440?
432 way more beautiful (;
Wonder if your left hand nails do not mess with fingering.. I prefer to cut them short
Coolness! Thanks!
