Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play B Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 1, 5, 8, and 9, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets F## on open string 5 ring, then connect it to the nearest B root and two other arpeggio tones.
  3. Connect the B 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.
