Open strings and root positions

1 of the 6 open strings belong to B Augmented Arpeggio: 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 D string at frets 1, 5, and 9, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets F## on open string 5 ring, then connect it to the nearest B root and two other arpeggio tones.
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.
