Arppegios with extensions

[liponguitas]

Hello,

I've been practicing the usual arpeggios for some time.And I think that now's the time to begin studing them with extensions. Do you have some structured method for this? Last night I studied them beginning in the Root and going to the 9th; then beginning in the third and going until the 11; an so on, for diferent type of chorgs minor, dominant, major)...Is this a good way to practice?

I used to always practiced arpeggios by playing two octaves of all notes. I added a short pdf showing Gmaj. Ionian, and A min. dorian. You would continue for all modes of Gmaj. scale. I would usually play basic root position of each 7th chord followed by two octaves arpeggio of all 7 notes. Again the pdf shows the 1st two, Gmaj. and A min. I would do the same with all three minors. G maj scale would cover nat. Min. and then do same thing with Melodic and Harmonic minors. If you take the time to write out all the scales, chords with all the chord tones, of each of the three minors and Harmonic Maj., you will have most of the harmonic and melodic material used in jazz. Good luck Reg

I usually see these refered to as 13 arpeggios although others here call them something else.

I associate them to the scale or mode. When I play the scale/mode and I then follow it up with the 13th chord. Forwards and back.

scale: CDEFGABCDEFGABC
13th : C E G B D F A C (1 3 5 7 9 11 13 1)

This works on any 7 note scale.

I do picking excercises/warm ups pretty much every day.

What I do is pick a scale or make up an arpeggio and use that as my excercise at the slower tempos of my picking excercise. So one day I might be practicing a Lydian Dominant scale the next it may be an arpeggio pattern I make up. This keeps things creative and varies my practice in a good way imo.

Here's yesterdays pattern I made up. I do eighth notes then triplets then sixteenth notes... then increase the bpm and repeat. This one is using the notes of an F9 arp.

Thanks a lot once more.
I will practice as you say.

All the best

The example you present on a GMaj7 chord in my opinion you are mixing up two diferent key functions, the I and II chors in the key of G. Up to the A note in the arpeggio it's fine but in that Ionian mode the note C should be avoided.
I would recommend you Bm7/G, you would end up playing
G - B - D - F# - A, It would sound better. Just a simple recommendation.
Good Luck
