Open strings and root positions
2 of the 6 open strings belong to D Minor-Major 7 Arpeggio: string 6 C# (7) and string 4 C# (7). 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 Minor-Major 7 Arpeggio on the low C# string at frets 0, 1, 4, and 8, 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.
