A7 Arpeggio

A7 would be built with the notes A C# E G. Below we have these notes in 9th position.

 


Below are these same notes on the staff.


The picking above indicates natural (also known as economy) picking but you should also practice using alternate picking.
It is always a good idea to use a metronome and practice your arpeggios with eighth notes (below), triplet eighth notes and sixteenth notes. If you don't have a metronome and want to buy one click here.

 

Midi file of above notation. Right click to open in new window to listen or if you have Cakewalk, Band in a Box or other such program you can save and speed up or slow down file as needed.
