Open strings and root positions

None of the 6 open strings belongs to D Minor-Major 7 Arpeggio. Every arpeggio tone must therefore be fretted, beginning with the first available tone on the low E string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play D Minor-Major 7 Arpeggio on the low E string at frets 1, 5, 9, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Play the arpeggio without using an open string, then stop on the nearest D root each time the line changes strings.
  3. Connect the D root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 10, 3, 10, 6, 3, and 10, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
