Em(maj7) arpeggio box shapes
This issue demonstrates the E MINOR MAJOR SEVENTH ARPEGGIO - Em(maj7) - this is the underlying arpeggio contained within the HARMONIC MINOR SCALE.
The EDCAG octaves sequence is shown for E natural in the diagram that follows:-
The diagram that follows shows all of the E minor major seventh arpeggio notes plotted over the 6-string guitar's
fretboard in both the 
and EDCAG octaves styles:-
As always a more long term solution to fretboard navigation is to see scales/arpeggios as INTERVAL shapes rather than note names - as these are universal to all scales, arpeggios and chords rather than specific to one particular root note - with this in mind the intervals for the E minor major seventh arpeggio are detailed below in the EDCAG octaves manner:-
The table and tabbed panel below details all five box shapes for the E minor major seventh arpeggio in the
EDCAG octaves style.

An additional box shape is detailed for the Em(maj7) arpeggio - as the pattern that is played at fret twelve falls off the edge of the fingerboard - hence the modified fingering shown below in the tabbed panel. To the right is the box shape complete with gaps. |
