Open strings and root positions

None of the 6 open strings belongs to C Augmented Arpeggio. Every arpeggio tone must therefore be fretted, beginning with the first available tone on the low D string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play C Augmented Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 2, 6, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Play the arpeggio without using an open string, then stop on the nearest C root each time the line changes strings.
Connect the C root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 10, 3, 10, 5, 3, and 10, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
