Would love an option to make a guitar (especially accoustic) do a slow glissando (Picking the chord string by string)

I believe that would be an arpeggio. Glissando means to slide along one string. Either would be a nice option.

Correct, glissando is sliding from one note to another.

And, just so stay technical, an arpeggio is picking the notes of the chord in order (root, third, fifth, etc).

Some guitar players think hitting and stopping at each string top to bottom (low E to high e) is an arpeggio. It may and it may not. Depends on the chord and the chord shape being used.

Hi FirstBassman, If I may ask where did you read that an arpeggio must be played in order? Many arpeggios I have seen and played are not in the root, 3rd, 5, 7th etc order. They are of course chord notes played one after another.

For example I have played a C chord arpeggio in this order many times, E-G-C-E on the top four strings of my guitar. I have also played it G-C-E, the top three strings. In other words a chord in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc inversions can not be played as an arpeggio?

I searched the internet but could not find anywhere where it said the must be played in order. I’m not trying to be a pain but I do want to use the correct terminology.

Thanx in advance for your time.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Mario, I don't mind you asking at all.
I never mind discussing things ... or even arguing.
The only thing I object to on the Internet are personal attacks.

The truth is, I didn't read it anywhwere.
That is what my first guitar teacher (an amazing jazz musician) taught me.

But since you asked, I did look it up and here it is:

"An arpeggio is a musical technique where notes in a chord are played or sung in sequence."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arpeggio

That is not to say that someone, such as you described, can't play notes out of sequence.
One, obviously, can play chord notes in any order they want.

FBM,

I see where you get your understanding; however, I think that statement is open to interpretation. It could mean "in sequence" as opposed to "simultaneously." However, that could mean that a fingerpicked guitar chord with the notes played in any order could be considered an arpeggio, and I have never heard such a pattern described as such. No argument here--just saying I can see it both ways. I wonder where we could find a definitive, unequivocal definition.

Well my 2 cents, - an arpeggio does not requrie the chord to be voiced in a specific order. Chord inversions can also be arpeggiated. Think, "House of the Raising Sun" famous for its arpeggiated playing and those codes do not voice 1, 3, 5.

ar·peg·gi·o (är-pj-, -pj)
n. pl. ar·peg·gi·os
1. The sounding of the tones of a chord in rapid succession rather than simultaneously.
2. A chord played or sung in this manner

Well, I think we've beaten this to death but just two more things . . .

No, as I stated, I got my "understanding" from my first (jazz guitar) instructor, who knows 1,000 things more about music than I ever will, not from the Internet.

There was no Wikipedia back then.

However, here happens to be one more:

http://www.music.vt.edu/musicdictionary/

And, if the intent was to define it as any note of a chord in any order, the definitions would just say "notes played individually" as opposed to saying "consecutively."

Different words mean different things.

I'm not a lawyer, but ... I rest my case.
