Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play C Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio on the low C string at frets 0, 4, 8, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets C on open string 6 ring, then connect it to the nearest C root and two other arpeggio tones.
Connect the C root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 0, 5, 0, 5, 0, and 8, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
