[Arpeggio] Beautiful masterpieces of Western music. Exquisite guitar sounds.

WonderwallOasis

Oasis – Wonderwall (Official Video)

An Oasis song that epitomizes ’90s Britpop opens with a strikingly picked guitar that immediately captures the listener and won’t let go.

Its lyrics vividly portray a desperate longing to lean on someone, an unshakable sense of loneliness, and a faint hope that still reaches for salvation.

Liam Gallagher’s vocals—powerful yet tinged with melancholy—delicately express those complex emotions.

Released as a single in October 1995, this classic appears on the landmark album (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, which became a monumental hit in British music history.

In October 2020, it became the first song from the 1990s to surpass one billion streams.

It’s the kind of track that offers a quiet warmth, as if gently staying by your side, when you’re at a crossroads in life or on a night when your heart feels a little weary.

Jason Mraz – I’m Yours (Official Video) [4K Remaster]

The light, airy arpeggios of an acoustic guitar pour down like rays of sunshine.

It’s a gem by American singer-songwriter Jason Mraz.

This piece sings, over a sound that weaves in comfortable elements of reggae and folk, of the resolve to offer one’s true self to a loved one and the joy of living in the present.

Released in May 2008, it set a then-record by staying on the Billboard Hot 100 for 76 consecutive weeks as the lead single from the album “We Sing.

We Dance.

We Steal Things.” In Japan, it became widely loved as the song for a Kirin Beer commercial.

It will gently stay by your side when your heart is weary or when you’re about to open a new door.

BlackbirdThe Beatles

Blackbird (Remastered 2009)

This work features the delicate arpeggios of Paul McCartney’s acoustic guitar, resonating deeply in the heart.

Set against the backdrop of the civil rights movement, it carries a message of hope and encouragement directed toward Black women facing hardship.

There’s an anecdote that it was inspired by birdsong, and it’s characterized by a beautiful, irregular-meter melody influenced by Bach’s Bourrée.

Included on the November 1968 album The Beatles, it was later featured on live releases such as Wings Over America.

It has also been used in the film I Am Sam and the TV series Glee, making it beloved across generations.

It’s the perfect song for quiet nights when you want to be enveloped by beautiful guitar tones or gently encouraged.

Stairway To HeavenLed Zeppelin

Stairway to Heaven (Remaster)

Also known by its Japanese title “Stairway to Heaven,” this song is a classic ballad by the British band Led Zeppelin, a group that represents the history of hard rock.

Featuring beautiful arpeggiated phrases on acoustic guitar from the intro throughout the entire piece, it was a must-learn practice song for young guitarists at the time.

The evolving arpeggios that gradually shift to electric guitar, together with the vocals and the flute’s timbre, create a sound world that simply could not exist without this iconic arpeggio phrase.

Where The Streets Have No NameU2

Where The Streets Have No Name (Single Edit / Remastered 2007)

Among U2’s songs, “Where the Streets Have No Name” stands out for its notably long intro of 1 minute and 20 seconds.

The arpeggios that come in as if chasing the initial sound evolve into a mysterious resonance through delay—a revolutionary feat of sound production.

It’s no surprise, given that the producer was Brian Eno, a leading figure in ambient music.

This masterpiece, born from the collaboration of U2 and Eno’s expressive powers, features groundbreaking use of arpeggios.
