Like I said, remembering diminished arpeggio fingerings is relatively easy because you only have to
remember 3 shapes:
1) This is the first diminished arpeggio fingering for Bb7 = Db7 = E7 = G7. You get the same
arpeggio if you move this pattern 3 frets up or down, so you can start it on the 6th, the 9th, the 12th
or the 3rd fret, while still playing the same diminished arpeggio.

2) The second diminished arpeggio fingering for Bb7 = Db7 = E7 = G7. Same as above: move
this pattern 3 frets up or down, start it on the 6th, the 9th, the 12th or the 3rd fret and youll still be
playing the same 4 notes.
3) This 2 notes/string fingering pattern is very symmetrical, except for the b-string of course. Also
moveable by 3 frets!

In the following example I play arpeggios over a 251 progression. Over the dominant chords, I only
play diminished arpeggios and youll hear how natural that sounds.

Some words:
Bar 1: Fmaj7 arpeggio over Dm, sounds like Dm9.
Bar 2: Ab7 arpeggio over G7. I use the 2-notes/string fingering, which is handy to change
position on the guitar neck.
Bar 3: Em7 arpeggio over Cmaj7, sounds like Cmaj9.
Bar 4: Bb7 arpeggio over A7.
Bar 5: Dm7 arpeggio.
Bar 6: Ab7 arpgeggio over G7.
Bar 7: Cmaj7 arpeggio with a chromatic note at the en.
Bar 8: Am7 arpeggio over C major, which sounds like C6.
