Open strings and root positions
3 of the 6 open strings belong to C# Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio: string 6 B# (7), string 5 E# (3), and string 1 B# (7). None of those open-string tones is the C# root, so the root must be fretted on every string.
First root on each string
Low-string pattern
On the lowest C string, the first-octave arpeggio pattern falls at frets 0, 1, 5, and 9, with the C# root at fret 1. On the highest C string, the first C# is at fret 1.
Practice this tuning-specific layout
- Play C# Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio on the low C string at frets 0, 1, 5, and 9, saying each note name and degree aloud.
- Build a phrase that lets B# 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 1, 8, 3, 10, 6, and 1, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
