The Major 7th Extended Arpeggio

Playing arpeggios in one position on the fretboard is great, but what about taking it as far as we can?

Here we have a Major 7th arpeggio extends over three octaves and the majority of the neck. Pay attention to the slides. It's important to keep your hands in the correct position to be able to play the whole thing smoothly.

If you use the wrong finger at the wrong time, you might find yourself in a tight spot.

Personally, I use all four fingers on the notes on the High E, Index for 5th fret, Middle for 8th, Ring for 12th, and Pinky for 13th. Some players may find it easier to use slides, though.
