Open strings and root positions
1 of the 7 open strings belong to Bb Augmented Arpeggio: string 4 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 Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 3, 7, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
- Build a phrase that lets D on open string 4 ring, then connect it to the nearest Bb root and two other arpeggio tones.
- Connect the Bb root positions on strings 7 through 1 at frets 11, 6, 1, 8, 3, 11, and 6, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
