Watch the Fragmenting Arpeggios online guitar lesson by Dave Celentano from Classical Concepts for Rock Guitar

Here we'll compare the original big string skipping shapes with the new fragmented versions. Notice they are just the highest three notes from the original shapes. Develop a good muting technique with the picking hand to silence all the lower and unplayed strings and prevent them from ringing or making noise. This is done by lightly resting the heel of the picking hand on the lower strings (low E and A) just past where they cross the bridge saddles.
