Open strings and root positions

3 of the 7 open strings belong to C Minor-Major 7 Arpeggio: string 7 B (7), string 3 G (5), and string 2 B (7). None of those open-string tones is the C root, so the root must be fretted on every string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play C Minor-Major 7 Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 0, 1, 4, and 8, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets B on open string 7 ring, then connect it to the nearest C root and two other arpeggio tones.
Connect the C root positions on strings 7 through 1 at frets 1, 8, 3, 10, 5, 1, and 8, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
