Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play C# Minor 9 Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 1, 2, 6, 9, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets B on open string 2 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 11, 6, 11, 6, 2, and 11, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
