Practice this tuning-specific layout
- Play Bb Minor-Major 7 Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 3, 7, 8, and 11, 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 8, 3, 8, 3, 11, and 8, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
