In Music , an arpeggio (plural, "arpeggi") is a spread chord played top-to-bottom or visa versa in sheet music. It occasionally indicates Accompaniment as well. The name of the chord comes from the Italian word, which means "in the manner or sound of the Harp ."

The following instruments use arpeggios:

  • Bass Guitar ists often use arpeggios to play out Chords .

  • Guitar ists may use arpeggios to achieve a particular sound. For example the neo-classical shred guitar music that Yngwie Malmsteen made popular in the 1980's employed arpeggios extensively. This is a result of a heavy influence from Classical music, understandably.
