Thank you Mike for this great video. I have been beating my head against the wall in frustration regarding learning how to APPLY arpeggios and make them sound musical and how to fit them into a chord progression like you did in the video. Do you have more videos / lessons elaborating on this topic of arpeggios ? Please send me some. I would like to learn simple two octave movable arpeggios with roots on the 6th and 5th strings like you showed in the video. I want to learn major, minor, and dominant 7th arpeggios . Thanks.

Hey man are you doing ok? You look like you've aged or are just not getting enough sleep. If your reading this, I bought the chordmaster class from these guys and it's legit. Love it. Thank you for these videos

Thanks for sharing but I dont understand how is C# involved here. When you held the "A minor bar" chord was there a C# note involved? Can anyone please explain?
