D Augmented Arpeggio in Open C Tuning

D Augmented Arpeggio in Open C Tuning shows the same d augmented arpeggio chord tones across 6 strings tuned C G C G C E. The tuning changes where the same chord tones sit across the fretboard.

Semitones: 0 4 8
Chord symbols: Daug, D+
Tuning: C G C G C E
Strings: 6
Open pitch range: C2 to E4
24-fret range: C2 to E6

Open strings and root positions

None of the 6 open strings belongs to D Augmented Arpeggio. Every arpeggio tone must therefore be fretted, beginning with the first available tone on the low C string.

Low-string pattern

On the lowest C string, the first-octave arpeggio pattern falls at frets 2, 6, and 10, with the D root at fret 2. On the highest E string, the first D is at fret 10.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play D Augmented Arpeggio on the low C string at frets 2, 6, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Play the arpeggio without using an open string, then stop on the nearest D root each time the line changes strings.
Connect the D root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 2, 7, 2, 7, 2, and 10, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
