Major Arpeggios

Arpeggios on major chords

Major chords are 3-note chords which are not used in Manouche (or very scarcely). Chords are displayed here to help, especially those guitarists like me who are used to playing in another style (pop, rock, etc...) and who can easily use them as references. On the other hand, major arpeggios are often used.

Major chord with the root on the lower E string

on two octaves and one note to be played in 8th and 16th (in A here)
On three octaves to be played in triplets (in A here). The tough point is on the descending part: the first note of the second measure is played with the middle finger.
