The II Position
C diminished Hy-peggio
This particular one requires a serious stretch but it can be done. You will probably want to save it for the B diminished arpeggio at the 13th fret (if you are in C major) or for the G# diminished arpeggio at the 10th fret that you metal shredders so love to use as a substitute for E7 while in A harmonic minor.

May I suggest: Pick a key and learn to run the arpeggios while moving up and down the neck staying diatonic to that key. For example: In the key of C the chords are C major, D minor, E minor, F major, G major, A minor and B diminished. Try to do this with each of the three inversions. Good luck!
