“What is an arpeggio? It sounds like some kind of esoteric specialist technique…”

Despite the technical name arpeggios are a really simple concept, provided you know a handful of chords. The idea is that instead of strumming a chord you play it one note at a time. The technique is used in all styles of guitar music, from classical and folk to rock and metal. So it doesn’t matter what you’re into – arpeggios are essential learning.
