Here is a classic minor arpeggio on the E string. An Arpeggio is a chord broken down into notes in one area of the neck. They are used for solos, melodies and I use them as finger exercises for pointing and flattening my fingers; if there are notes that are played on the same fret, but a different string, you should be pointing for the lower note and flattening your finger for the higher note. You do the reverse when you go back down.
