Arpeggiomania [ ptb | mp3 | mpg ]
In this riff, I have come up with a concept of going to a higher note before completing the actual arpeggio, then doing the regular arpeggio.  In this example only 5^th string root minor and major arpeggios are used.  Sweep picking must be utilized to gain high speed to play this chop at its full value.

G Major Arpeggio, Root 2 [ ptb | mp3 | mpg ]
This is your basic 5^th string root G major arpeggio.  This is where sweep picking will have to be utilized.  As you can see, the first pick is a down pick, then a hammer-on and then you sweep that down-pick all the way to the top E string.

Am Arpeggio [ ptb | mp3 | mpg ]
The A minor arpeggio is a 5^th string root minor arpeggio.  You should watch the video to see how I maneuver my hand and roll the 3^rd finger so that none of the notes ring out together.

Diminished Arpeggios [ ptb | mp3 | mpg ]
Another famous arpeggio is the diminished arpeggios.  Shown in the tab,  we are only doing the 3 string sweeps to get a real fast sweeping sound like Malmsteen.
