Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play C# Dominant 7 Arpeggio on the low E string at frets 1, 4, 7, and 9, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets B 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, 2, 9, 5, 2, and 9, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
