Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play D Augmented Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 0, 4, and 8, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets D on open string 6 ring, then connect it to the nearest D root and two other arpeggio tones.
  3. Connect the D root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 0, 7, 0, 7, 3, and 0, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
