Arpeggio, also known as a "broken chord," denotes a chord in which each note is audibly heard separately. Specifically, they’re the notes that make up the chords played separately.

In today’s episode of Steve Stine Guitar Podcasts, Steve shows how to play arpeggios and do it solo. He also specifies that visualizing arpeggio will make it easier for you to play it.

The CAGED System uses the five shapes of open-position chords—C, A, G, E and D—to make all other barre chords. The system allows for twelve major chords and their variations to be played in up to five different positions on the neck, using only these five shapes. The CAGED System is not limited to chords. It can also be used to play major scales in any position, using five different patterns. Learning each scale position is a good way to learn how to solo because it breaks down the neck into chunks rather than mapping out the entire scale. In today’s episode of Steve Stine Guitar Podcasts, Steve discusses how to play solos by visualizing chords and melodies on the fretboard. He also encourages students to learn theory and practice techniques so they can improve their improvisation skills. Tune in now and Remember the more you do this, the better you get at it!
