Open strings and root positions
1 of the 7 open strings belong to E Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio: string 4 B# (#5). None of those open-string tones is the E root, so the root must be fretted on every string.
First root on each string
Low-string pattern
On the lowest G string, the first-octave arpeggio pattern falls at frets 1, 5, 8, and 9, with the E root at fret 9. On the highest D string, the first E is at fret 2.
Practice this tuning-specific layout
- Play E Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio on the low G string at frets 1, 5, 8, and 9, saying each note name and degree aloud.
- Build a phrase that lets B# on open string 4 ring, then connect it to the nearest E root and two other arpeggio tones.
- Connect the E root positions on strings 7 through 1 at frets 9, 2, 9, 4, 11, 7, and 2, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
