Either follow the steps below, or purchase the PDF ebook linked above to access the arpeggio exercises on pages 12-13.
For these 6 arpeggio chord progression exercises, we will be working on the two grade 3 arpeggio shapes: 2 octave major arpeggio, and the 2 octave minor arpeggio.
Please ignore the repeat markings on the notation when you play along with the backing tracks.
The backing tracks above may be helpful for practicing along with. They are only 1 speed, so if you wanted to, you could record yourself playing the chord progression and then practice playing along. If using these exercises in a music lesson, a guitar teacher could play the chords whilst the student plays the arpeggios. Or, you could play them along with a metronome at various speeds – nothing wrong with that!
