There are four main arpeggio shapes to remember (with two notes played on the lower E string).

Shape 1

This arpeggio starts from the root and is therefore played on this kind of chord: (in Gm6 here that can distinctly be seen on the arpeggio chart)

Shape 2

This arpeggio starts from the third and can therefore be played on this kind of chord: or still (in Em6 here).

Shape 3

This arpeggio starts from the fifth and can therefore be played on this kind of chord: (in Cm6 here).

Shape 4

This arpeggio starts from the sixth and can therefore be played on this kind of chord: (in Bbm6 here).

Remark

There are many other ways to play those arpeggios of course like by playing only one note on the lower E string but I will not talk about those.
