Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play A Diminished 7 Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 1, 4, 7, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Play the arpeggio without using an open string, then stop on the nearest A root each time the line changes strings.
Connect the A root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 7, 2, 7, 2, 10, and 7, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
