Open strings and root positions

None of the 6 open strings belongs to B Augmented 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 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. Play the arpeggio without using an open string, then stop on the nearest B root each time the line changes strings.
  3. Connect the B root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 9, 2, 9, 5, 2, and 9, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
