Randy Johnston's Lightning Fast Arpeggios from the 7th

Randy Johnston teaches simplified, streamlined fingerings for arpeggios starting from the 7th degree of the chord — a method for increasing the speed, sound, and flow of your arpeggios and opening up new soloing ideas. The fingerings cover major 7th, minor 7th, dominant 7th, half-diminished 7th, minor-major 7th, and fully diminished 7th chords, with applications to 9ths, #11 chords, and other substitutions.

What's covered

• A new way of playing 7th-chord arpeggios up to three octaves
• Applying these fingerings to other chords, including 9th, #11, and blues chords
• Right- and left-hand techniques — picking, hammer-ons, and pull-offs — for playing these lines with flow and speed

An intermediate-to-advanced class for players who want to sweep and flow up and down the neck with arpeggio lines they can put straight to work in their solos. The full class video includes a download.
