Have you ever noticed that you can play minor arpeggios two notes per string. Look at the Am7 starting on 6th string A. First I guess we should mentioned the notes A C E G. Now look at the 6th string A and C then the 5th string E and G then 4th string,  3rd string etc.

 The “puzzle board”  is full of surprises.

Yes, the patterns on the guitar are endless. 

If I follow you correctly, you're saying to play...

6th String: A (5th Fret) (1st finger) to C (8th Fret) (3rd or 4th finger)

5th String: E (7th Fret) (1st finger) to G (10th fret) (3rd or 4th finger)

4th String: A (7th Fret) (1st Finger) to C (10th fret) (3rd or 4th finger)

3rd String: E (9th Fret) (1st Finger) to G (12th fret) (3rd or 4th finger)

2nd String: A (10th Fret) (1st Finger) to C (13th fret) (3rd or 4th finger)

1st String: E (12th Fret) (1st Finger) to G (15th fret) (3rd or 4th finger)

You'll find patterns like this all over the guitar.

The trick is to then turn patterns like this into workable finger patterns and licks.

Keep Learning!

Here is a Paul Davids lesson I found recently about this subject.

I like to learn something new like this every practice session.  Just listening to Paul describe each note of the pattern was helpful.  It helps to reinforce the material just to hear it again.  Steve had some good patterns in the L&M program as well.  I saw one on the old Gibson site that Arlen Roth showed for a fretboard run of pentatonic scale similiar to the one Steve taught us.(haven't seen anything new on the that site for a long time though)http://www.gibson.com/Lessons/Arlen-Roth-Lessons/Lessons/The-Longest-Pentatonic-Scales.aspx
