Open strings and root positions
3 of the 6 open strings belong to C# Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio: string 4 B# (7), string 3 E# (3), and string 2 G## (#5). 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 D string, the first-octave arpeggio pattern falls at frets 3, 7, 10, and 11, with the C# root at fret 11. On the highest D string, the first C# is at fret 11.
Practice this tuning-specific layout
- Play C# Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 3, 7, 10, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
- Build a phrase that lets B# on open string 4 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 11, 6, 1, 8, 4, and 11, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
