Open strings and root positions

1 of the 6 open strings belong to B Minor-Major 7 Arpeggio: string 4 A# (7). None of those open-string tones is the B root, so the root must be fretted on every string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play B Minor-Major 7 Arpeggio on the low C string at frets 2, 6, 10, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets A# on open string 4 ring, then connect it to the nearest B root and two other arpeggio tones.
  3. Connect the B 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.
