Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play C# Sus2 Arpeggio on the low C string at frets 1, 3, and 8, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets D# on open string 3 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 1, 8, 3, 10, 6, and 1, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
