Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play Bb Sus2 Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 1, 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 6 through 1 at frets 11, 6, 1, 8, 4, and 11, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
