What is the theory behind guitar arpeggios--how to play them and when to use them?

ANSWER

Hi, Brian--

We offer an extensive free lesson to help you learn to play guitar arpeggios for major chords at: Major Guitar Arpeggios.

As far as when to use them--since arpeggios are chords played one note at a time, you can use them to correspond to any situation where there is a chord. If the song calls for an A Major chord, you can play an A Major arpeggio, etc.
