Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play C Augmented Arpeggio on the low Eb string at frets 1, 5, and 9, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets G# on open string 5 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 9, 4, 11, 6, 2, and 9, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
