An ARPEGGIO means “in the style of a harp.” It is shown before a chord with a wavy line and the chord is played bottom to top notes separately and quickly. Example; a C chord would be played middle C – E – G- treble C and back without repeating the top C – G- E – middle C.

Any three note chord can be played as an arpeggio..
