Tuning Throughout this program Rusty is using a seven string guitar tuned a half step down to Eb tuning. The tuning notes are:
(Thinnest) 1st String 2nd String
Eb
Bb
3rd String
4th String
5th String
6th String
(Thickest) 7th String
Gb
Db
Ab
Eb
Bb
Note that even though Rusty is using a seven-string guitar, all of the examples he teaches only use the 6th through 1st strings making all of the examples applicable to all guitarists. For a six-string guitar tune as follows:
(Thinnest) 1st String 2nd String
Eb
Bb
3rd String
4th String
5th String
(Thickest) 6th String
Gb
Db

Arpeggio Madness Chord Scales Each key has its own set of chords that correspond and function directly with it. There is no “book of secrets” that tells musicians the chords that are available to use. You have already learned the information needed to build the chords within a key, now to get to the next level of songwriting and modal knowledge you need to learn how to harmonize a Major scale. First, look at basic three-part harmony or triads. This three-part harmonization derives the basic major, minor, diminished and augmented chords within any given scale. The Major scale has three of these four types of three-part harmony chords; Major, minor and diminished. It is easiest to see this process on a notation staff and piano. Let’s look at a “C” Major scale in both of these formats.
Now if we play the first, third and fifth degrees of the scale simultaneously we have a “C” Major chord.
11
Arpeggio Madness Now take the second degree of the scale “D” and skip the third degree, add the fourth degree “F,” skip the fifth note and add in the sixth note “A.” We now have a grouping of the three notes “D,” “F” and “A.” These notes create the notes of a “D” minor chord.
Notice that with the first chord we used the scale degrees 1 – 3 – 5 and with the second chord we used the scale degree 2 – 4 – 6. Do you see the pattern; the chord is comprised of every other note. So the III chord would be created by using the scale degrees 3, 5 and 7 (E – G – B) which outline an “E” minor chord. Here is the “C” Major scale with each degree harmonized in three parts. Notice that the chords that have their lowest tone on a line have the next two notes on a staff line as well and the same goes for the notes that begin on a staff space; the next two notes are in the spaces as well. These are intervals of a third. Chords are constructed by stacking intervals of thirds. The tabbed chords below each triad are full form chords and contain duplicate notes within each triad to create these commonly used chords.
12
Arpeggio Madness Now let’s look at four-part harmonization. This type of harmony is where the chords types such as Major Seventh, Minor Seventh, Minor Seventh “b5” and Dominant Seventh come from. If you have a good grasp on the three-part harmonization from the last section all you have to do is add another interval of a third onto each chord. So if we look back at the “C” Major Chord (C-E-G); skip the next note after the “G” which is “A” and add the “B” onto the chord we have now added the seventh degree to the chord. Follow this process with the rest of the chords.
For the power chords go, all you have to do is find the first and last note of the three-part harmony (Root and fifth degree) and you have the power chords. So for the C power chord it will be C & G.
Keep in mind that power chords are not really chords, they are intervals. They are commonly called double stops. A chord by definition is three or more different notes played at the same time. Power chords only use two notes: the root and fifth. Guitarists over the span of many years have dubbed these “power chords” due to the strong tonal sound and frequent use. They are used just as much, if not more than the full form chords used by many guitarists. The power chords are extremely important to Rock and Metal guitarists because when they are played through an amp saturated in distortion they sound much tighter than full form chords which can have a muddy sound when distorted. 13
Arpeggio Madness Now that you have learned the process of creating chords from any Major Scale in three-and four-part harmony, you should memorize the following “Major Scale Chord Formula” so it can becomes second nature.
