Lesson Clarification... due to recent feedback I feel I need to explain a little more the reason for the fingerings I have chosen. I realize that there are MANY possible fingerings and ways to play a 2 or 3 octave arpeggio. The reason for this lesson IS to help you move around the neck more. The reason for my fingering choices are based on a few simple principles: 1) Never shift to a new position to play just 1 note. If you shift, play at least 2 notes before shifing again; 2) if you have to cover a large range of notes, move your hand slowly up the neck shift-by-shift. Do NOT play 4 notes in one position and then try to jump over 12 frets to continue. This will reduce fret noise as well as gap in your sound; and 3) Open strings are nice, depending on the key you are in, but do not rely on them do develop an exercise that you will bring into every key.

Purpose: This exercise will help you improve your 'fret-target-practice' when moving quickly around the fingerboard. I find practicing this using triplets (not 1/16th notes) is easier to groove to.. but for this example 1/16th notes are used.
Correct left hand fingering is essential to the mastery of this arpeggio. The numbers in this lesson correspond to the 4 fingers of your left hand. (shift) means that your hand should move to the next position on the fingerboard.
2 Octave: The first note should be fingered with 1. (shift) The next two notes 3, 1. (shift) The 1st octave G should be fingered with 2 (fret 10) and B with 1 (fret 9). (shift) The top 2 notes of the 2 octave arpeggio are fingered with 3 (D string) and 4 (G string). Coming down uses the same fingerings.
