ARPEGGIOS OVER CHORDS-BEGINNER'S CHEAT SHEET

Using arpeggios is an absolute must in Gypsy Jazz, however, for a beginner, with little experience with theory and harmony it is difficult to know how to apply them. Which Arpeggio goes over which chord?!!!! Of course you can outline a chord (an E7 arpeggio works over an E7 chord), but what happens when you have that same E7 arpeggio working over an Am6 chord? You can of course break it down, E7= 1-3-5-b7 or E-G#-B-D and Am6=1-b3-5-6 or A-C-E-F# but how are they related?!!!! Through harmonizing the A Melodic Minor (ascending) scale = A-B-C-D-E-F#-G#-A . The notes of both Chords/Arpeggios can be seen and formed in this scale. But, like I mentioned before, I am a beginner with little experience with theory and I need a little help with this. I’ve been looking for a FREE program, website that will just give me this info so I can figure it out… couldn’t find one… so I did this using these three links:
1) Look up the chord- it will tell you Names, Symbols, Steps, and Recommended Scales:
http://www.all-guitar-chords.com/index. ... m6&get=Get
Ex. Am6= Name: Minor 6th chord
Symbols: m6, min6, m(add6), -6
Steps: 1-b3-5-6
Recommended scales:
Dorian scale
Melodic Minor (Ascending) scale
2) Look up the Scale – it will tell you almost every possible chord that works with this scale:
http://www.all-guitar-chords.com/scales-to-chords.php
Ex. A Melodic Minor (Ascending) Scale – chords: Am, Am6, Bm, Bm6, D, D7, D6, E,E7, F#m7b5, G#7b5 etc… (there are a ton more and several are enharmonic equivalents)
3) Look up the Arpeggio- this outlines the chords and all the notes of the arpeggio (this step is optional if you already know your arpeggios)
http://www.all-guitar-chords.com/arpeggio.php
As a beginner this helped me understand chord/scale/arpeggio relationships. You shouldn’t become dependent on this, but it will clear things up if you’re having troubles with using arpes. If you have a program that does this all in one let me know. Remember, I don’t like to pay to play so let me know if it’s free.
