![]() ![]() These are chords with their notes played in sequence (the word "arpeggio" actually means "broken chord") rather than together. Additionally, many lead patterns revolve around arpeggios. ![]() For example, if you have to play a lead part over a C major chord (C-E-G) and you use the notes of a D flat major chord (Db-F-Ab) then the result will be very dissonant. Knowing how chords are constructed can help when learning the lead parts of many songs since there is always a relationship between a chord and the lead part. While chords are primarily used for rhythm guitar, basic chord knowledge can be important for lead playing as well. The more advanced technique of picking is examined in the Picking and Plucking chapter. Chords may be strummed or the notes picked individually though beginners find strumming much easier. The interval between the root note and the third determines whether a chord is a major or minor. Chords derive their names from the root note so a C chord has C for its root note and a G7 chord will have G. A chord is two or more different notes played simultaneously.
