Open strings and root positions

3 of the 6 open strings belong to A Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio: string 6 C# (3), string 5 G# (7), and string 4 C# (3). None of those open-string tones is the A root, so the root must be fretted on every string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play A Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio on the low C# string at frets 0, 4, 7, and 8, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets C# on open string 6 ring, then connect it to the nearest A root and two other arpeggio tones.
Connect the A root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 8, 1, 8, 3, 11, and 6, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
