Open strings and root positions

2 of the 7 open strings belong to C# Major 7 Arpeggio: string 4 B# (7) and string 3 E# (3). 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# Major 7 Arpeggio on the low G string at frets 1, 5, 6, and 10, 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 7 through 1 at frets 6, 11, 6, 1, 8, 4, and 11, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
