Symmetric Boomerang Arpeggios (altered) + backing tracks

Symmetric Boomerang Arpeggios (altered)

In this short melodic study I present a great way to play altered dominant arpeggios using a 2 note per string melodic split. This produces very easy and symmetric fingering patterns that repeat each two strings throughout the entire range of the fretboard.

The intervallic structure of the arpeggios combines intervals of a 3rd (mainly in the lower register) and 4th (mainly in the higher register) encompassing the entire range of the instrument.

This way we can make the higher register have wider intervals within the arpeggio pattern and in turn this lets us access a different order of the chord tones/extensions of the harmony.

The study consists of 4 main arpeggio patterns (in 3 octaves) that cover the root position, 1st, 2nd and 3rd inversions of an altered dominant chord and within each pattern I am presenting 3 different technical exercises (4 Note Sequences, Percussive Hammers and Twisted Arches) that will help with technique development, finger independence and the faster implementation of the material within musical lines and phrases that you can use in your improvisations.
