Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play C# Diminished 7 Arpeggio on the low C string at frets 1, 4, 7, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets Bb 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 1, 8, 3, 10, 6, and 1, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
