Open strings and root positions

None of the 7 open strings belongs to C# Sus4 Arpeggio. Every arpeggio tone must therefore be fretted, beginning with the first available tone on the low B string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play C# Sus4 Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 2, 7, and 9, 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 7 through 1 at frets 2, 9, 4, 11, 6, 2, and 9, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
