Open strings and root positions

6 of the 6 open strings belong to Bb Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio: string 6 D (3), string 5 A (7), string 4 D (3), string 3 F# (#5), string 2 A (7), and string 1 D (3). None of those open-string tones is the Bb root, so the root must be fretted on every string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play Bb Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 0, 4, 7, and 8, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets D on open string 6 ring, then connect it to the nearest Bb root and two other arpeggio tones.
Connect the Bb root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 8, 1, 8, 4, 1, and 8, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
