Tuning
Throughout this program Rusty is using a seven string guitar tuned a half step down to Eb tuning. The tuning notes are:

(Thinnest)
1st String 2nd String

Eb

Bb

3rd String

4th String

5th String

6th String

(Thickest)
7th String

Gb

Db

Ab

Eb

Bb

Note that even though Rusty is using a seven-string guitar, all of the examples he teaches only
use the 6th through 1st strings making all of the examples applicable to all guitarists.
For a six-string guitar tune as follows:

(Thinnest)
1st String 2nd String

Eb

Bb

3rd String

4th String

5th String

(Thickest)
6th String

Gb

Db

Ab

Chord Scales
Each key has its own set of chords that correspond and function directly with it. There is no book
of secrets that tells musicians the chords that are available to use. You have already learned the
information needed to build the chords within a key, now to get to the next level of songwriting
and modal knowledge you need to learn how to harmonize a Major scale.
First, look at basic three-part harmony or triads. This three-part harmonization derives the basic
major, minor, diminished and augmented chords within any given scale. The Major scale has
three of these four types of three-part harmony chords; Major, minor and diminished.
It is easiest to see this process on a notation staff and piano. Lets look at a C Major scale in
both of these formats.

Now if we play the rst, third and fth degrees of the scale simultaneously we have a C Major
chord.

11

Arpeggio Madness
Now take the second degree of the scale D and skip the third degree, add the fourth degree
F, skip the fth note and add in the sixth note A. We now have a grouping of the three notes
D, F and A. These notes create the notes of a D minor chord.

Notice that with the rst chord we used the scale degrees 1 3 5 and with the second chord we
used the scale degree 2 4 6. Do you see the pattern; the chord is comprised of every other
note. So the III chord would be created by using the scale degrees 3, 5 and 7 (E G B) which
outline an E minor chord.
Here is the C Major scale with each degree harmonized in three parts. Notice that the chords
that have their lowest tone on a line have the next two notes on a staff line as well and the same
goes for the notes that begin on a staff space; the next two notes are in the spaces as well.
These are intervals of a third. Chords are constructed by stacking intervals of thirds. The tabbed
chords below each triad are full form chords and contain duplicate notes within each triad to create these commonly used chords.

12

Arpeggio Madness
Now lets look at four-part harmonization. This type of harmony is where the chords types such
as Major Seventh, Minor Seventh, Minor Seventh b5 and Dominant Seventh come from. If you
have a good grasp on the three-part harmonization from the last section all you have to do is add
another interval of a third onto each chord. So if we look back at the C Major Chord (C-E-G);
skip the next note after the G which is A and add the B onto the chord we have now added
the seventh degree to the chord. Follow this process with the rest of the chords.

For the power chords go, all you have to do is nd the rst and last note of the three-part harmony (Root and fth degree) and you have the power chords. So for the C power chord it will
be C & G.

Keep in mind that power chords are not really chords, they are intervals. They are commonly
called double stops. A chord by denition is three or more different notes played at the same
time. Power chords only use two notes: the root and fth. Guitarists over the span of many years
have dubbed these power chords due to the strong tonal sound and frequent use. They are
used just as much, if not more than the full form chords used by many guitarists. The power
chords are extremely important to Rock and Metal guitarists because when they are played
through an amp saturated in distortion they sound much tighter than full form chords which can
have a muddy sound when distorted.
13

Arpeggio Madness
Now that you have learned the process of creating chords from any Major Scale in three-and
four-part harmony, you should memorize the following Major Scale Chord Formula so it can
becomes second nature.

One key thing to remember with the diminished arpeggios is that they invert in intervals of a minor third (one and a half steps).

Arpeggios Using Legato
Rustys Legato Technique
When playing legato, Rusty ONLY picks on the ascending strings and uses legato for all descending strings. Play the following D major scale example to see this technique in action.

In this example, Rusty taps using both the ring and middle ngers of his picking hand. Above
the tab you will notice a T2 and a T3. The T2 signies tapping with your picking hand middle
nger and the T3 signies tapping with your picking hand ring nger.
**Note that you can stay on one string in one position and practice this multi-nger tap legato roll before
trying the whole example if you nd it difcult at rst. So you would start off by practicing:

Once you have these three arpeggio ngerings memorized, you can apply them to any diatonic
Major chord scale. All you need to know is this chord scale formula:
I - IV - V chords are Major
ii - iii - vi are minor
vii is diminished
Now you can take that formula and apply it to any diatonic major scale and work out the arpeggios for that key. For example, in the key of G Major (G - A - B - C - D - E - F#) you would play:
G Major - A minor - B minor - C Major - D Major - E minor - F# diminished

All of these different patterns will work, and work well over any of the seven diatonic chords in
the key of E minor. Be sure to practice these over all the seven different chords so that you
can really get the sound of the harmony these arpeggios create when played in a musical context.

Arpeggio Madness
Single String Four Note Triads
Major Add2 and Minor Add4
In this lesson Rusty adds other scale tones to the single string triads to create add2 and add4
arpeggios. The way he does this is by adding the second to major arpeggios, the fourths to minor
arpeggios and the b2 to the diminished arpeggio. In the key of G major, this looks as follows:

Major

Minor

Diminished

Gadd2 = G - A - B - D

Amadd4 = A - C - D - E

F#m7b5addb2 = F# - G - A - C

Cadd2 = C - D - E - G

Bmadd4 = B - D - E - F#

Dadd2 = D - E - F# - A

Emadd4 = E - G - A - B

Below is a quick reference chart to see how these arpeggios are derived from the key of G
major. Starting on the G note in the left hand column number 1, read to the right of the G, you
will see the A under the second degree (2), B under the third degree (3) and D under the fth
degree (5). These are the four notes that make up the Gadd2 four note arpeggio.
