Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play C# Major 7 Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 3, 6, 10, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Play the arpeggio without using an open string, then stop on the nearest C# root each time the line changes strings.
Connect the C# root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 11, 4, 11, 6, 4, and 11, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
