Guitar arpeggio finder
Enter a chord and instantly see the arpeggio notes, chord tones, formula, and fretboard positions. Great for learning to solo through chord changes instead of just running scales.
Arpeggios are chord tones played one note at a time. This tool shows the notes inside the chord and maps them visually on the fretboard so you can see where the strongest soloing notes live.
It includes basic triads plus common 7th and jazz colors like maj7, m7, dominant 7, m7b5, dim7, add9, 9, 13, sus2, sus4, and augmented chords.
Use arpeggios when you want your lead lines to follow the chord changes. Start by targeting the root, 3rd, and 5th. Then add 7ths, 9ths, and other colors as your ear gets stronger.
Scales give you a pool of notes, but arpeggios show you the notes that define the chord. When your solo lands on chord tones, it sounds more intentional and connected to the harmony.
This is especially useful when chords move quickly or when the progression includes jazz chords, dominant chords, diminished chords, or borrowed chords.
A scale tells you the overall key or sound. An arpeggio tells you the notes inside the current chord. The best solos often combine both: use the scale for motion, and use arpeggio notes as strong landing points.
An arpeggio is the notes of a chord played one at a time. For example, a C major arpeggio uses C, E, and G.
Use the chord formula. Major is 1-3-5, minor is 1-b3-5, dominant 7 is 1-3-5-b7, and major 7 is 1-3-5-7.
Yes. Arpeggios help your solos follow the chord changes because they target the most important notes in each chord.
Both matter. Scales help you move around the key, while arpeggios help you land on notes that match the chord underneath.
Use this with the scale finder, progression analyzer, and chords-in-key finder to connect chords, scales, and fretboard targets.
