arpeggio - noun - Playing the notes of a chord consecutively (harp style). A broken chord in which the individual notes are sounded one after the other instead of simultaneously.
This picture doesn't really do justice to the term. This doesn't look much different from a scale, which I'll save for a later word entry.

I have to say it - you put me to shame as a musician! I've studied harmony, can read music, and love many of the classics, but when you get down to the rock-bottom truth, I was just another guitar player out to impress the girls - and now I only have two working fingers. Thank God I can still hear! Keep up the good work.
(It is said that Cato the Elder ended every senate speech with the words, "Delenda est Carthago [Carthage must be destroyed]." I feel like ending every comment by asking, "Ou sont les Natalies d'antan?")
