When learning how to play jazz guitar, one of the most important device to master is to play each tone of a chord in order to outline a specific progression.

This lesson is focused on diatonic seventh arpeggios and their extensions. In a first time, before applying these extensions, it is recommended to have a very strong knowledge of the triads, both the chords and the arpeggios.
