Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play Bb Augmented Arpeggio on the low E string at frets 2, 6, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Play the arpeggio without using an open string, then stop on the nearest Bb root each time the line changes strings.
Connect the Bb root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 6, 1, 6, 1, 9, and 6, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
