Dominant 7 Arpeggio Scale Stick
More notes. More expression. Same bluesy foundation.
The DOM-7 Arpeggio stick is for players who want to go beyond chord tones and run melodic lines over dominant 7 changes. It includes the four essential chord tones of the dominant 7 - the same ones on the DOM-7 Chords stick - plus additional notes that connect them.
Those connecting notes are what let you build flowing, expressive runs rather than jumping from chord tone to chord tone. Follow the color-coded dot pattern on your map and you have a complete palette of notes for soloing over any dominant 7 chord in any key - from tight, resolved lines to longer melodic phrases.
If you already have the DOM-7 Chords stick and want to expand, the Arpeggio stick is the natural next step.
What's Included:
- 1 DOM-7 Arpeggio scale stick
- Color-coded dot pattern showing chord tones plus arpeggio extensions
- Dovetail joints compatible with all Chord Connectors sticks
This stick is right for you if:
- You already use the DOM-7 Chords stick and want more note options
- You play blues or jazz and want to build fuller melodic solo lines over dominant 7 chords
- You are an intermediate player expanding your soloing vocabulary
FAQ
Q: What does the DOM-7 Arpeggio stick give me that the DOM-7 Chords stick does not?
A: The DOM-7 Arpeggio stick includes the four chord tones of the dominant 7 plus additional scale notes between them. These extra notes give you more options for connecting chord tones in a melodic run, creating smoother and more expressive solo lines. If the Chords stick gives you the skeleton, the Arpeggio stick fills in the muscle.
Q: Is the DOM-7 Arpeggio stick for beginners or advanced players?
A: It works best for players who already understand the dominant 7 chord and want to expand their soloing vocabulary over it. If you are new to dominant 7 chords, start with the DOM-7 Chords stick to learn the core tones first. Add the Arpeggio stick when you want more note choices.
Q: Which genres use the DOM-7 Arpeggio the most?
A: Blues, jazz, and blues-rock make the heaviest use of dominant 7 arpeggios. The flat 7 gives these styles their characteristic tense, expressive quality. Country and funk also use dominant 7 chords frequently. If you play any of these styles, the DOM-7 Arpeggio stick will quickly become one of your most-used tools.
