Open strings and root positions
None of the 7 open strings belongs to Bb Power Chord Arpeggio. Every arpeggio tone must therefore be fretted, beginning with the first available tone on the low B string.
First root on each string
Low-string pattern
On the lowest B string, the first-octave arpeggio pattern falls at frets 6 and 11, with the Bb root at fret 11. On the highest E string, the first Bb is at fret 6.
Practice this tuning-specific layout
- Play Bb Power Chord Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 6 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 7 through 1 at frets 11, 6, 1, 8, 3, 11, and 6, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
