The next step is to decide which arpeggios to use to follow this progression. This one is up to you but for practical purposes,
I recommend mixing different inversions around so you don't have to jump around the entire fretboard to follow a progression. Below I have given several possibilities to follow the progression so try to find one that you think feels most comfortable for you at first and then try experimenting.

One other thing is that you don't always have to start from the bottom note. For a change, reversing the pattern can be a nice way to break the monotony.

Another possibility is to use smaller-sized arpeggios or portions of the sweep arpeggios. Remember that they don't always have to be really large sweeps. Sometimes the smaller ones can be just as difficult or at times, even more difficult.
