Lesson Seven

Arpeggios

An arpeggio is a chord played one note at time, rather than all at once. They are often used in slowmoving ballads.

24 1. Listen
Some pop/rock styles often use arpeggiated chords. Listen to Calypso High. It arpeggiates the
chords in eighth notes ( q q ). Eighth notes get half a beat each. Notice the eighth-note arpeggios, as
you listen, as well as the other new rhythms.

Tip: Two notes connected with a tie (


) are played with no space
between them. A half note tied to an eighth note lasts for two
and a half beats.
