Books and DVD's for Arpeggios on the Guitar
Arpeggios for Guitar (The Progressive Guitarist Series)
This book is a collection of arpeggio diagrams with a twist. Next to each arpeggio it shows two connecting diagrams, one with the associated chord form and the other with the associated scale form making it easy to see how the chord tones overlap. It's quite comprehensive covering a vast amount of arpeggio patterns from triads to dom13b5 with just about everything in between.

Fluid Soloing - Book 1 Arpeggios for Lead Rock Guitar
I'm becoming a big fan of the Tim Quinn stuff. You can read my review of this book here. I highly recommend it.

Arpeggios For The Modern Guitarist
Various arpeggio techniques and examples using sweep picking, alternate picking, tapping, string skipping and legato. I've not seen this book myself so I don't know if it's just a bunch of exercises or has musical examples, but it has some good reviews and comes with a CD.

CAGED Template Chord System - Desi Serna
This is a DVD that covers the use of arpeggios and the CAGED system. I'm not sure how much of it is about arpeggios but the two are closely related so will probably be very useful for the beginner to intermediate guitarist. Although I've not seen this DVD, I have got fretboard theory by Desi Serna and if that's anything to go by then this is going to be good.

Ultimate Guitar Techniques: Shredding With Arpeggios
The reviews on this DVD, although not many, don't seem very good. To be honest I'm quite surprised so I'd like to check it out before commenting. I have a lot of Danny Gill stuff and have only great things to say about all of it, so I'm not sure I'd go by the reviews on Amazon. If anyone owns this, I'd love to hear your comments.

Melodic Arpeggios For Lead Guitar
I have no idea about this book but the reviews are mostly good. The synopsis mentions connecting arpeggios to modes and the blues scale and using them for improvisational ideas. I'm not sure about this, maybe there are some good ideas in there but if there are, I'd guess it's not going to be much use to any beginners or intermediate guitarists. I can think of ways of mixing modes, blues scales and arpeggios together but then I would call it an improvisational study and not a book about melodic arpeggios.
