Open strings and root positions

None of the 6 open strings belongs to Ab Power Chord Arpeggio. Every arpeggio tone must therefore be fretted, beginning with the first available tone on the low B string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play Ab Power Chord Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 4 and 9, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Play the arpeggio without using an open string, then stop on the nearest Ab root each time the line changes strings.
  3. Connect the Ab root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 9, 4, 11, 6, 2, and 9, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
