It's just that I've seen the term arpeggio used to imply different, similar things in different contexts, so I'm careful with using it.

Because every time I've heard the term "broken chord", it refers to an arpeggio.(02-19-2014, 05:20 PM)crazysam23 Wrote: No, they're actually the same thing.

Ha. :p (I'm only being obnoxious atm because I'm all in all a terrible human being my recollection of music-theory is so bad I couldn't even articulate an actual point I was gonna make. Also because I'm not sure if I can spell obnoxious)
Arpeggios are a subset of broken chords were the notes are played in sequence. Much of the fun in broken chords is that they aren't necessarily arpeggios, you can mess around with the sequence of the notes and which ones to include.
