Learning the triads was well worth the effort.

Hi Ed - yes, triads and arpeggios have been some of the things I've studied in the past, but incompletely....it's always a challenge to get past studying these triads/arpeggios in isolation by themselves (e.g. only C major, or only F minor 7) to the point of using them musically in a piece. The exercise for this is obvious - playing a tune's chord sheet using only the arpeggios while hearing the song's melody in your head and emphasizing these notes. It's a large "brain jump" (level of effort) to go from a triad in a single position to mixing them up every bar (1 to a bar or 2 per bar at times).

I suppose on that note - who can do this, and how was it making the jump ? On guitar it's been challenging for me to go from thinking of a single arpeggio in a single position (and the accompanying scale) to moving from one to another at the speed required for a song....this has been a plateau for me for many years now.
