Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play A Power Chord Arpeggio on the low Eb string at frets 1 and 6, 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 6, 1, 8, 3, 11, and 6, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
