  1. Play D Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 2, 3, 7, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets D on open string 4 ring, then connect it to the nearest D root and two other arpeggio tones.
  3. Connect the D root positions on strings 7 through 1 at frets 3, 10, 5, 0, 7, 3, and 10, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
