arpeggio question

When you see this tab, what finger would you use for the last note?


---------2------5---
-------3-----------
-----2-------------
---4--------------
-5-----------------

i would just take my pinky off the A string to play that last A

Same here... except that by the time I had played the second note (F#), my pinky would already be heading for the high A note.

The trick to playing arpeggios is to hold the notes only long enough to get a smooth sound from note to note and releasing each note just as carefully so as to sound like a scale rather than bluring the notes together like a chord. That is what differentiates and arpeggio from a chord.
