En af de mest anvendte måder at lave fill-in er ved hjælp af akkordbrydninger, hvilketOne of the most common ways to produce fill-in is using the arpeggio, which means that a chord is not being played simultaneously, but rather played in sequence. There are a myriad of possibilities for arpeggios in all styles. An arpeggio figure can be used as a piano pattern through a whole sang, eg the song 'Imagine' by John Lennon, but the arpeggio can also be used as a fill-in, ie a filling of a pause in the song.
Listen for example to Billy Joel: 'Piano man'; Elton John: 'Can you feel the love tonight' and 'Do not let the sun go down on me'
Numbered fill-ins appear in Chords On Piano 1-3, where there are also other fill-ins as well as suggestions and recommendations on how they can be used. Literates fill-ins only appears on this website.
