12-bar study no. 2 - dominant 7th arpeggios

This 12-bar study takes you through the dominant 7th C-shape, A-shape and G-shape arpeggios.  It uses a 12-bar blues progression in E major .  Like the first study this makes it  easy to hear when you need to change pattern.  It also reinforces the fact that when you are using arpeggios for melody or solo lines, you need to change with the chords.

Here's how to use it.

1. Spend 15 minutes learning patterns for C-shape, A-shape and G-shape dominant 7th arpeggios. (justinguitar.com has a great page for this).  5 minutes on each.

2. Play a basic 12-bar progression in E.  Listen for where the changes happen.  (If you can record this into a looper or get a backing track, even better).

3. Spend 15 minutes learning the 12-bar study.

4. Play. (With backing track or loop).

5. Play it slow to learn it fast.
