Arpeggios!

I've begun exploring arpeggios lately. Not the standard variety, chord shape arpeggios. Those are so easy I use them with string skipping to warm up (hehe). I'm talking about along-the-fretboard arpeggios, played using first principles rather than 'shapes'. Take a look-

Amadd9 arpeggio (listen)
Amadd9! I love this arpeggio. Am is cool, but Amadd9!!! I've tried adding many tones to the standard major and minor arpeggios, and the 9th is my favorite.



Am arpeggio (listen)
This is a small melody rather than just an arpeggio. I used 9s in some places.




Gadd9 arpeggio (listen)
This is again a melody. Its in 7/8!!!




Next step is sweep picking. Yes, I still can't do sweep picking :-(
