What is an arpeggio?
Arpeggio (italian from arpeggiare: to play the harp) or broken chord: The sounding of the notes of a chord in succession rather than simultaneously by breaking or spreading the chord tones one after another.
The arpeggios for guitar are divided into different groups. They build on the arpeggio for the major, dominant 7th, minor, minor 7th and diminished chord.
Further explanations for interval are to be found in the interval theory section.
