B Augmented Arpeggio in Drop C# Tuning

B Augmented Arpeggio in Drop C# Tuning shows the same b augmented arpeggio chord tones across 6 strings tuned C# G# C# F# A# D#. The tuning changes where the same chord tones sit across the fretboard.

Chord tones: B, D#, F##
Formula: 1 3 #5
Semitones: 0 4 8
Chord symbols: Baug, B+
Tuning: C# G# C# F# A# D#
Strings: 6
Open pitch range: C#2 to D#4
24-fret range: C#2 to D#6

Open strings and root positions

1 of the 6 open strings belong to B Augmented Arpeggio: string 1 D# (3). None of those open-string tones is the B root, so the root must be fretted on every string.

Low-string pattern

On the lowest C# string, the first-octave arpeggio pattern falls at frets 2, 6, and 10, with the B root at fret 10. On the highest D# string, the first B is at fret 8.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play B Augmented Arpeggio on the low C# string at frets 2, 6, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets D# on open string 1 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 10, 3, 10, 5, 1, and 8, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
