In the exercises that follow, various fingerings are comparable to the chords.
In fact, the notes that make up each sequence, may seem like you are playing a sweep chord. Really the notes are part of a chord. If we always identify the notes that we are playing, then these are single notes of melodic character. To be defined as a chord, it has to be formed from a group of overlapping and simultaneous notes.
As usual, transport the fingerings over the entire fretboard, in order to build your confidence. These examples that we will see are currently not transported to the other strings.
For convenience, every example always starts from the root, so that you can then transport that same fingering in other positions to play in other scales. For example, in exercise #1 seen below the first note that you will play is D (fifth string, fifth fret), and therefore the arpeggio that develops is an arpeggio in D major. If we move the fingering to the seventh position, automatically the little finger that presses the starting note will always be found on the fifth string, but at the tenth fret, which is G. This forms an arpeggio in G major.
