Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play A Sus2 Arpeggio on the low Eb string at frets 1, 6, and 8, 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.
