Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play Ab Sus2 Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 1, 6, and 8, 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 6, 11, 6, 1, 9, and 4, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
