Now, arpeggios are different from scales. First, they're based upon thirds, meaning
we go up in thirds; we don't go up consecutively with our fingers. It's more like 1-3-1 next
to the next string, okay? Now, in an arpeggio we have only three notes. In this particular
arpeggio, it's C natural, E natural, and G natural. Now, those notes keep repeating throughout
the arpeggio. It's just sometimes with different fingers and a different position later on.
So, in our C tonic major arpeggio there ore three notes, remember: C natural, E natural,
and G natural. Those are the notes for our C tonic major arpeggio.
