Down-up-down-up (strict alternation across strings, not per note).
Major 7 = major triad + natural 7th (one half step below root). 3. Three Essential Fingerings Per Arpeggio To play over the entire neck, learn each arpeggio in three positions:
Lifting fingers too early – let notes ring briefly before muting with the picking hand. 5. Applying Arpeggios to Chord Progressions Instead of playing scales over a II-V-I, play the arpeggio of each chord.
