  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Guitar Jet podcast, where you'll skyrocket your
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: knowledge of theory, techniques and fundamentals for guitar. Hey, I'm
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Miles and today I'm going to be talking to you
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: about the four modal arpeggios on the guitar. And a
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: modal arpeggio is the arpeggio built from the root note
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: of a major scale mode. And there are four fundamental
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: modal arpeggios. Those are major seventh, dominant seventh, minor seventh,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: and minor seventh.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Flat five. And before I move forward, you can use
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: the link in the description below to check out the
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: associated tab with this lesson. And the way that you
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: construct modal arpeggios is by stacking the root, third, fifth,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: and seventh degrees from the root note of each mode.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: So to get the major seventh arpeggio, you build it
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: from the root position of the Ionian and Lydian modes,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: giving you one, three, five, and seven as your intervals.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: To get the dominant seventh arpeggio, you build it from
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the root position of the Mixolydian mode, giving you one, three, five,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: and flat seven. To get the minor seventh arpeggio, you
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: build it from the root position of Dorian, Phrygian, and Aeolian,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: and that gives you a root minor third, fifth, and
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: minor seventh, and last but not least, we have the
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: minor seventh flat five are peggio, which is built from
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: the root position of the Locrian mode, and that has
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: a root and then everything else is flat, flat three,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: flat five, and flat seven, and that's it. That's how
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I describe model arpeggios. Essentially, take a major scale mode
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and stacked every other note from the root position of
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: that particular major scale mode until you have four notes
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: giving you the first, third, fifth, and seventh degrees of
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: that mode, and then you get at the model arpeggio.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: And that's it for today's episode. Thank you so much
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: for listening, and I hope you have a fantastic day.
