We take a chord and roll through its notes one by one, bottom to top or top to bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, an arpeggio built from the Am triad has three notes: A, C, and E. That\u2019s the root, third, and fifth of the Am triad. To play this as an arpeggio, you\u2019ll play these notes broken and add the root note on top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Left Hand Fingering<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Notes<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Right Hand Fingering<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5-3-2-1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">A-C-E-A<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1-2-3-5<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can extend an arpeggio across the whole piano by tucking under or crossing over, just like with scales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<video playsinline=\u201c\u201d autoplay=\u201c\u201d src=\"https:\/\/pianote.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/2024\/Arpeggios\/arpeggio%20cross%20and%20tuck.mp4\" loop=\"\" muted=\"\" width=\"100%\"><\/video>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Arpeggios aren&#8217;t just a series of notes.
