  1. Play Bb Sus2 Arpeggio on the low C string at frets 0, 5, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets C on open string 6 ring, then connect it to the nearest Bb root and two other arpeggio tones.
  3. Connect the Bb root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 10, 5, 0, 7, 3, and 10, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
