Is It Different Between Arpeggio and Chord?



When playing sweeping arpeggio techniques, always make comments from listeners (lay people). They always say "why is it hard to play arpeggio? Playing chords is the same." indeed arpeggio and chord have similarities, but on the other hand these two techniques are very different. Here is the explanation.

Arpeggio.
Arpeggio is chord notes that are played one by one. so, suppose we play the D key, then the notes are played one by one. But the tone must sound or be picked one by one or the tone may not sound in the same time. Because if there is more than one note that sounds together, then it is a chord, not an arpeggio.
It can be concluded that the chord and arpeggio are different, but there are similarities. In Chords, each note is played at the same time. while the arpeggio is played one by one. At first arpeggio sounds like classical music. So if you want to make your music a bit like a classic, you can use arpeggio. It should also be noted that the arpeggio and scales are different. Scales (usually) are notes in the key to the song in question. While Arpeggio is the notes of the chord that was played at that time. So, the scales are still wider than an arpeggio.

Chord.
Chord is an arrangement of several tones formed into
one, can consist of two or more tones. So here
the basic tone that originally consisted of A-B-C-D-E-F-G
combined like C-E-G (Pressed on
together) so as to form a tone stability
harmonious, well that's what is called a chord.
This Chord according to the theory is divided into several types:
1. Triad
2. Seventh
3. Extended
4. Added
Triads are the most commonly used type of chord
consists of three sets of tones. The triad itself is divided
again into several parts, namely:
1. Major / Major
2. Minor
3. Augmented
4. Diminished
5. Suspended

From the explanation I have shown, it is very clear and contrast between the arpeggio and the chord. An arpeggio is obtained from the chord that has been melted into many tunes in the appropriate order. While the chord is a lot of tones being made one.

My 3rd Semester

My 3 rd Semester In the third semester, I felt very comfortable. My classmates are very friendly, so I'm not too difficult to adjust with them. They are also good and like to help each other in the lesson. When I did not understand about the lesson, I will ask and discuss it with my friend. In the third semester, I also just got to know the lesson called linguistic and literature. At first I had a hard time because I had not gotten a picture of the lesson. Then, I learned that linguistics was more focused on memorization, and literature focusing more on practice. In my opinion the most difficult lesson is grammar, because if we don't understand the lesson we will also have difficulties in writing, reading, and etc. Sometimes I have difficulties to divide time to study between one lesson and another. The reason is because sometimes I more focus on learning to lessons that I can't and other lessons are little disturbed. Therefore, in the next semester I will change...
