[Arpeggio] Beautiful Western music masterpieces. Exquisite guitar sounds (31–40)

AffirmationGeorge Benson

This is a track where you can savor the fluid playing of jazz-fusion guitar great George Benson.

Also known by its Japanese title “Watashi no Shuchō” (“Affirmation/My Assertion”), the piece is actually a cover of a song by the blind guitarist and Spanish-guitar virtuoso José Feliciano.

Unlike Feliciano’s classical fingerstyle approach, Benson delivers a jazz arrangement characterized by reverse-angle picking.

Beyond the smooth shimmer of the arpeggios, his impeccably precise technique unleashes a stream of superb phrases that will undoubtedly leave you enthralled.

Cello Suite #1 In G, PreludeJ.S.Bach

An undisputed classic by Bach! Everyone has surely heard it at least once.

This piece, too, is built around arpeggios at its core.

Bach’s unique melodies and refined scales even evoke a mood that connects to modern music.

People often say Bach’s music relates to dance music and rock, and I think that description fits—his sound was truly ahead of its time.

In the end, I feel a single-voice piano tone is the most suitable timbre to enjoy this piece.

What a Wonderful WorldLouis Armstrong

The signature song of Louis Armstrong, known by the nickname “Satchmo,” is What a Wonderful World.

It’s also well known in Japan under the title Kono Subarashiki Sekai (This Wonderful World).

While the song is strongly associated with Satchmo’s distinctive vocals, the arpeggios played on a gut-string guitar play an important role.

Such guitar is rarely used in jazz, but without those soft, gentle arpeggios, don’t you think the atmosphere of the song would be quite different?

FAKE LOVE (Rocking Vibe Mix)BTS

BTS is an idol group from South Korea.

They are musicians from Korea who are active on the world stage.

Their individual vocal abilities are excellent, and their rich expressiveness may be one of the reasons for their popularity.

The song “FAKE LOVE” is also a piece with such expressive depth, and the arpeggio that appears in the intro is particularly captivating.

The classic rock approach—dropping into an arpeggio and then unfolding into a blast of sound—is really cool!

I Feel LoveDonna Summer, Giorgio Moroder

Donna Summer & Giorgio Moroder – I Feel Love 12″ Extended
I Feel LoveDonna Summer, Giorgio Moroder

“The Queen of Disco,” American singer Donna Summer.

Her 1977 release “I Feel Love.” It’s a track defined by a synthesizer sequence thrust so far to the forefront it could almost be called aggressive.

The melody is a refrain studded with chords—almost an arpeggio.

A gritty, hard-edged synth sound paired with moody vocals makes for a track that still feels astonishingly innovative and impactful today.
