A Diminished Arpeggio 2


This is a 4 string bass arpeggio for an A Dimished Chord. It is a closed pattern so it is movable. An arpeggio should be played like a sweep and two notes are not supposed to ring together as that would create a chord, therefore not an arpeggio. In this posting we'll have a go at variation 2.

This pattern unlike variation 1 moves up the neck of the guitar. I find that it adds a bit of intensity to the arpeggio, it's a little more aggressive. A benifit of this arpeggio is that if you are moving upwards it is easy to link up to another arpeggio.

This pattern like most others I have on this site are movable to create Arpeggios in different keys.
