A Minor Violin Arpeggio

An arpeggio is very different from the scale. The scale is only eight notes. But the arpeggio is three notes and they just go up in different positions, different fingerings on the fingerboard. In our A tonic minor arpeggio derived from our A major scale, there are only three notes which are A natural, the next is C natural, and the next is our A natural. The only three notes played in this A minor tonic arpeggio. All you have to do after that is go up, but you go up in thirds.
