Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play C# Sus2 Arpeggio on the low C# string at frets 0, 2, and 7, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets C# on open string 6 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 0, 5, 0, 7, 3, and 10, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
