    Dan Leonard: Hi! I'm Dan Leonard and I'm going to be covering different types of arpeggios in this clip. We already covered the major seven arpeggio. So I'm going to move on to the dominant seventh arpeggio, which is just like the major seventh but it has a flatted seventh in it just like the dominant seventh chord. So, here is the fingering for that.

    There is also the minor seventh arpeggio which has a flatted third and a flatted seventh, and they have diminished arpeggio which has the flatted third or flatted fifth and a flatted seventh, and what you want to do is go to the five positions, based around the five chord forms and figure out fingerings of all of these arpeggios and I want to get them through repetition become familiar with all the fingerings on the fretboard for each type of chord.
