Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play B Augmented Arpeggio on the low A string at frets 2, 6, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets F## on open string 3 ring, then connect it to the nearest B root and two other arpeggio tones.
Connect the B root positions on strings 7 through 1 at frets 2, 7, 2, 9, 4, 0, and 7, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
