Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play B Minor-Major 7 Arpeggio on the low Eb string at frets 3, 7, 8, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets F# on open string 3 ring, then connect it to the nearest B root and two other arpeggio tones.
Connect the B root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 8, 3, 10, 5, 1, and 8, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
