Open strings and root positions

None of the 6 open strings belongs to A Minor-Major 7 Arpeggio. Every arpeggio tone must therefore be fretted, beginning with the first available tone on the low D string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play A Minor-Major 7 Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 2, 6, 7, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Play the arpeggio without using an open string, then stop on the nearest A root each time the line changes strings.
  3. 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.
