How to read this arpeggio

The chord tones are shown as pitch classes first. In the fretboard tool, square markers represent Eb root notes, while circular markers represent the remaining tones in the arpeggio.

Use the interactive fretboard to locate the Eb root notes and connect the remaining diminished chord tones across standard tuning.

This same arpeggio shape is also commonly called Eb Diminished Triad.
