In this lesson, we’ll explore an exciting alternative to the pentatonic scale using a classic Django Reinhardt chord-tone concept for improvisation. While the pentatonic scale is popular among guitarists, chorded arpeggios offer a more melodic and expressive approach to soloing.

We’ll start with simple three-note arpeggios (1-3-5) and build up to more complex four- and five-note variations. Along the way, you’ll learn 15 different examples to help you master this technique and expand your improvisational toolkit.

Get ready to enhance your solos and break out of the pentatonic!
