Add further definitions in chExceptionMusic like this:

chExceptionMusic =  {
        <c ees g c''>1-\markup {m \super \arpeggioGuitar }
        <c e g c''>1-\markup { \super \arpeggioGuitar }
}

You can add as many chord definitions as you need - if you want the 
arpeggio next to a 7th, add
        <c e g bes c''>1-\markup {7 \super \arpeggioGuitar }

and the chord would be entered like g1:7.15
