Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play B Major 7 Arpeggio on the low C string at frets 3, 6, 10, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Play the arpeggio without using an open string, then stop on the nearest B root each time the line changes strings.
Connect the B root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 11, 4, 11, 4, 11, and 7, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
