Open strings and root positions

4 of the 7 open strings belong to C# Minor 9 Arpeggio: string 7 B (b7), string 6 E (b3), string 2 B (b7), and string 1 E (b3). 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# Minor 9 Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 0, 2, 4, 5, and 9, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets B on open string 7 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 2, 9, 4, 11, 6, 2, and 9, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
