Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play A Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio on the low E string at frets 1, 4, 5, and 9, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets A on open string 5 ring, then connect it to the nearest A root and two other arpeggio tones.
Connect the A root positions on strings 8 through 1 at frets 5, 10, 5, 0, 7, 2, 10, and 5, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
