Grab you guitar, today I'm sharing with you one of my favorite jazz arpeggio shapes with some color, upper color tones to explore in your solos.

 In today's lesson, you learn how to play an arpeggio that adds both 9th and 11th color tones into your jazz guitar solos.

I first learned this colorful arpeggio from a Joe Pass solo I transcribed, and later found it again in Pat Martino's solos, among other great players.

First, you learn the first half of the m7 arpeggio and improvise with that shape. (I comp the chords for you just like a one-one-one lesson.)

Next, you learn the full arpeggio and solo with that shape as you and I jam together over an Am7 vamp.

To finish, you focus on phrasing, rhythms, and playing by ear & instinct in your arpeggio lines and solos.

Have fun as you learn this arpeggio, jam over a bossa nova groove with me, and build your jazz vocabulary in a fun and interactive lesson.
