You should familiarize yourself with the basic major & minor scale formulas & the fretboard patterns they form across the guitar.

Next you can learn to visualize the basic triads & inversions across the fretboard.

In this one I spend some time in lessons showing how to arpeggiate extended chords in order to solo in a jazz context.

Finally, this one is about visualizing all possible intervals in multiple positions.

[QUOTE=greyghoast17] ... dont some arpeggio patterns begin on a note other than 1 if your playing the same notes in different shapes?

Yes, that's why it's especially important to really know the basic triad (1-3-5) shapes first! Hope this helps. Ask more if necessary. :)
