Excellent, Excellent, Excellent idea...arps can do a simular thing but you have to play the extended/alt notes...
I use these two books and they really allow me to put it all together... Don Latarski these are the books for that... CHORD EMBELLISHMENTS and MOVEABLE CHORDS
however, I do noy dig all of Latarski's books... but most of them are truly the best I have ever seen or used....not to mention I use to see him play guitar when I lived Eugene Or...he is a monster
another way is to learn some exotic scales..that will force your hands to play in wierd ways simular to arps with those ext/alt notes
