Efficient ways to learn Arpeggios

[Jogger Jazzist]

What did you find to be the fastest way to learn arpeggios and have them stick in your head?

Learn chords. Different inversions ans shapes. Then arpeggiate them.

I initially liked to pick them out of the scale fingerings I was most familiar with. Unfortunately, I don't think there's much of a short cut. However, if efficiency in the practice room is your goal, I think it makes a lot of sense to learn lines from players you like, figure out the best and easiest fingerings for those lines, then analyze the lines against the chord progression for the tune.

You'll learn a lot of arpeggios that way, but more importantly you'll be getting closer to what's probably the main goal: playing vocabulary on the guitar.

lets start in 2nd position. pick a fingering "set". for instance, start with just the 4th finger. play up then down a one octave arpeggio for a Amaj7, then go up/down the next octave (completing the entire 2nd position). now do up/down the entire 3 octave position. repeat the process only starting from the highest note and coming down/up, next octave, etc...

i then suggest finding in the same position the dom7, then min7, then min7b5.

then start going up maj7, down dom7...up dom7, down min7...etc.
