You've seen so far how valuable the use of scales are in the the solo sound of Django andgypsy jazz. The next point of study is the way arpeggios played a dominaterole in his playing. Arpeggios are basically chords played as single notes and Djangowas instintive and an expert in using them. This style of playing certainly had its rootsin the gypsy flamenco playing where chords were broken and rolled and individual notesused in improvisation. If you're not familiar with arpeggios in your practise please take time to review these.
There are many different patterns for all the arpeggios that Django used but let's pickout some of the main ones for practise. This first one uses a G major arpeggio pattern over a G major chord. It's important to playthese in the swing style so listen to the MP3's and watch the videos.
