Open strings and root positions
3 of the 6 open strings belong to D Dominant 7 Sharp 9 Arpeggio: string 6 C (b7), string 5 E# (#9), and string 1 C (b7). None of those open-string tones is the D root, so the root must be fretted on every string.
First root on each string
Low-string pattern
On the lowest C string, the first-octave arpeggio pattern falls at frets 0, 2, 5, 6, and 9, with the D root at fret 2. On the highest C string, the first D is at fret 2.
Practice this tuning-specific layout
- Play D Dominant 7 Sharp 9 Arpeggio on the low C string at frets 0, 2, 5, 6, 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 2, 9, 4, 11, 7, and 2, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
