B Augmented Arpeggio in Open C Tuning

B Augmented Arpeggio in Open C Tuning shows the same b augmented arpeggio chord tones across 6 strings tuned C G C G C E. The tuning changes where the same chord tones sit across the fretboard.

Open strings and root positions

2 of the 6 open strings belong to B Augmented Arpeggio: string 5 F## (#5) and string 3 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 C string at frets 3, 7, and 11, 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 11, 4, 11, 4, 11, and 7, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
