Interesting, to be explored further...

The diagrams on the left are also the five fingerings Jimmy Bruno teaches.

What I find similar to Groyniad's/Jon's OP is the (liberating) effect of having a reduced number of variables from which to draw.
That's what I find special about Peter's teaching, which has little to do with the arpeggios themselves (which are plain old Cmaj7, Ami7 and Emi7).
What it is that Peter teaches (so effectively) is a way of connecting these arpeggios by means of a unique approach - specifically, George Benson's approach - to a deceptively simple combination of fingering and picking.
What Peter teaches can be adapted and adjusted appropriately by the player to their desired speed - and he goes to extraordinary lengths to ensure that his students 'get it'.
I'm more than willing to talk about Peter's teaching - perhaps on the Benson picking thread (where I posted a rather hurried video about my re-think of 'The Grip' and guitar size before taking my siesta) - but I'm simply not competent to present or explain the content of his lessons. (I simply haven't got it down - yet.)

Destiny, would you please point me toward where I can find info on Peter Farrell's teaching material.
many thanks,

The 5 fingerings are not unlike the CAGED fingerings as well.
I think there is a common set of fingerings here that everybody names and conceptualizes in different ways, each one very helpful at getting at something in its own way.

I have rediscovered the original book I learned my basic scale fingerings from, Leon White's Styles for the Studio. He named the fingerings based on the major scale, which finger/string the root was on. So you have 1e, 2e, 4e, 1a, 2a, 4a, 1d. They connect up the neck several different ways, but going back to this book I have been amazed at how stupid and dense I was not to "get" what he was presenting. Now, 25 years later, I finally can appreciate that book and it's companion, Sight to Sound.

These fingerings/positionings are similar those that Forum did about two years in a thread by F.E.P. when he did a series on Joe Elliotts book "Jazz Guitar Soloing". This teaches you to play the diatonic arpeggios within the 5/6 fret framework as well as the scales. For those interested its well worth trawling back as Frank did a few video's of the lessons. I think we went thru nearly every chapter of Joe's book which included the substitutions.

This endorsement from the site says it best:
“Peter is the genius of the fingering, and one of the most amazing guitar players nowadays and if someone wants to know anything about me, they will have to look for this guy.” George Benson
I heard him thanks to a clip posted on the 'Benson picking' thread, and eventually I sought him out for Skype lessons. I've just written to ask if it's OK to share his email in a public thread - if not I'll PM you.
