For Blues Improvisation
Arpeggios are nothing more than the notes that make up a chord played separately.
Typically, blues is played with dominant 7 chords...so, dominant 7 arpeggios are great for blues improvisation.

Using Arpeggios to Solo
When you are using arpeggios to build your solos or improvisational lines, you want to follow each chord change and play the appropriate arpeggio. This is why when you use arpeggios your playing sounds so hip! This type of approach can really jazz up your blues playing. Don't take my word for it though, try it yourself.

- Yeah, you sound so hip as a player when using arpeggios to improvise solos. Since I started using them my playing sounds way more mature. Thanks for your kind words on my lens![in reply to Music-Resource]
