7M chords are often replaced by their equivalent 6/9 chords in manouche. Indeed, from a strictly harmonic point of view, these chords can often be interchanged. That being said, 7M arpeggios are often used as such, by Stochelo Rosenberg and Biréli Lagrène for instance. This kind of arpeggio lends itself nicely to diagonal playing.

On all diagrams, the arpeggios are displayed in yellow, and the chord in light blue. Note that there is alraedy an excellent explanation superbe page in English about 7M arpeggios, authored by a former Berklee School of Music student.
