There are a lot of ways you can break up arpeggios. One thing I like to do is put an interval skip, or two, within the line. Below, I've written one way to break the arpeggio up based on string skips. For each arpeggio, instead of playing the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th in order, I break it up as follows: 1, 3, 7, 1, 5, 7. The descending version comes back the same way it went up: 7, 5, 1, 7, 3, and 1. The idea behind these interval skips is for you to get used to hearing the different interval patterns. Once you do, you can use these different skips to alter or enhance a particular line as you improvise. If you have other ideas about this concept, let me know about it! Connect with me and share your ideas below!
Happy practicing!!
