I'm looking for a clean arpeggio chart (no studies) to memorize at least major, minor, fully diminished seventh and dominant seventh arpeggios each beside the other and sorted by key. I realize that I could write them out or flip back and forth between books and pages but I'd prefer to save that time to memorizing them in order. (Yes, if I had them memorized, I wouldn't have to be flipping around).
One other curious question: What do you prefer - playing a certain arpeggio through all keys or playing all mutations of arpeggios through one key at a time? Thank you

You'll memorise them much more quickly if you learn them by working them out as you go along. Slavishly learning them from printed music may get you through them all, but not so easy to recall one when you want to.

Write them out yourself. You'll learn faster.

If you're looking for a book, there is nothing better than Baermann III. Everything is sorted by keys and easily played through and it covers the complete range of the instrument in every key. If you play through it everyday with a metronome you will have them memorized before you know it. Good luck!

Hey, I'm having a little trouble finding the Baerman III books. I searched Google and got nothing. Does anyone know where I could find a copy?

Newton, I prefer to arpeggiate in modes (C major, D minor, E minor, etc.) And then I arpeggiate all majors, all minors, all sevenths, that pattern. Although sometimes I get lazy and just skip arpeggios altogether.

Truth be told: I'm not entirely certain what is included in the fully diminished and dominant seventh chords and do not want to practice it wrong nor do I have anyone to "check my work."
I suppose the fully diminished is a minor third + minor third although the seventh stays the same: C Eb Gb B? Or does fully diminished include flatting the seventh and half diminished leaves the seventh as is?
The dominant seventh refers to the chord, not the key: C E G B and is major third, minor third, major third, right?

Here we go, check out www.avrahm-galper.woodwind.org/#Baermann. I had one of Galper's books and gave it away to a friend, it's so helpful, thinking that I'd buy another one. This book has each key on one page as you wanted.
Use the book as a guide only. Try to memorize these. Use a "Circle of Fifths" to visualize the relationship of the scales, major and minor, one with the other. If you'd like I can e-mail a Circle to you (if you use Microsoft Word).

fully diminished is stacked minor thirds all the way to the 7th- C Eb Gb Bbb (b double flat or a)...half diminished is just what you think, stacked minor thirds with major third at the 7th- C Eb Gb Bb...Dominant 7 is major third + minor 3rd + MINOR 3rd- C E G Bb...C E G B is a Major 7th chord
Major- C E G B
Dominant- C E G Bb
Minor- C Eb G Bb
Half Dim.-C Eb Gb Bb
Dim.- C Eb Gb Bbb
check my theory and let me know where i went wrong (if it is the case)

I think the technical name for the half-diminished is the "minor seventh chord with diminished fifth". (Long name for a chord)
Also, if you want to get technical, the enharmonic tables (wherever they are; it's like another "they" conspiracy.) state that it's certainly NOT "A", but "Bbb", which explains why an Eb diminished sounds completely different instead of just like an inversion: Eb Gb Bbb *Dbb* and so on.
Now someone needs to check ME on this.

Which is why guitar players write it m7-5
