Open strings and root positions

4 of the 6 open strings belong to D Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio: string 6 C# (7), string 4 C# (7), string 3 F# (3), and string 2 A# (#5). None of those open-string tones is the D root, so the root must be fretted on every string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play D Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio on the low C# string at frets 0, 1, 5, and 9, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets C# on open string 6 ring, then connect it to the nearest D root and two other arpeggio tones.
Connect the D root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 1, 6, 1, 8, 4, and 11, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
