Open strings and root positions

2 of the 6 open strings belong to D Augmented Arpeggio: 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 Arpeggio on the low Eb string at frets 3, 7, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets F# on open string 3 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 11, 6, 1, 8, 4, and 11, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
