Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play Ab Major 7 Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 1, 4, 8, and 9, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets G on open string 3 ring, then connect it to the nearest Ab root and two other arpeggio tones.
Connect the Ab root positions on strings 7 through 1 at frets 9, 4, 11, 6, 1, 9, and 4, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
