B Augmented Arpeggio in 7-String Drop G Tuning

B Augmented Arpeggio in 7-String Drop G Tuning shows the same b augmented arpeggio chord tones across 7 strings tuned G D G C F A D. The seventh string adds lower chord-tone positions below a six-string layout while keeping the upper strings familiar.

Open strings and root positions

2 of the 7 open strings belong to B Augmented Arpeggio: string 7 F## (#5) and string 5 F## (#5). None of those open-string tones is the B root, so the root must be fretted on every string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play B Augmented Arpeggio on the low G string at frets 0, 4, and 8, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets F## on open string 7 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 4, 9, 4, 11, 6, 2, and 9, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
