Hi Folks! I'll make a short introduction to my lesson. It will deal with the chord progression in C major.

*) Chords in C major The notes in the () are (root-third-fifth).

1-Chord: C //(c-e-g)// Mode: Ionian

2-Chord: Dm //(d-f-a)// Mode: Dorian

3-Chord: Em7 //(e-g-b)// Mode: Phrygian

4-Chord: F //(f-a-c)// Mode: Lydian

5-Chord: G //(g-b-d)// Mode: Mixolydian

6-Chord: Am //(a-c-e)// Mode: Aeolian

7-Chord: Bdim //(b-d-f)// Mode: Lokrian

*) Arpeggiated Chords in C major

+ Set the metronome to ~50 bpm
+ Play all arpeggiated chords in triplets
+ Play this etude firstly only on the A and D strings
+ Transpose this pattern to F major, only using the D and G strings
+ Transpose this pattern to G major, only using the E and A strings. The fingering stays the same in F and G major, you just move one string up/down.
+ Practise this pattern from low C to high C AND vice versis. This is very easy, just start playing from the end to the beginning, reading right to left.

C            Dm        Em            F
G|-------------------------------------------------|
D|------2--5----------7------------9-------7--10---|
A|---3-----------5--8------7--10-------8-----------|
E|-------------------------------------------------|

G                 Am                Bdim            C
G|------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------9--12---------------14-------------15--------14--17--|
A|---10-------------12--15--------14--17--------15------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------|

+ When you feel comfortable with this partern, try alternating the order of the notes. Eg: Start the first chord with its fifth, play the second chord regularly, the third again starting with its fifth and so on.

id est:

C             Dm           Em              F
G|-----------------------------------------------------| etc.
D|---5--2---------------7-----9-----------------7--10--|
A|-----------3----5--8------------10---7----8----------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|
