Open strings and root positions

3 of the 6 open strings belong to E Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio: string 6 B# (#5), string 3 D# (7), and string 1 B# (#5). None of those open-string tones is the E root, so the root must be fretted on every string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play E Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio on the low C string at frets 0, 3, 4, and 8, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets B# on open string 6 ring, then connect it to the nearest E root and two other arpeggio tones.
  3. Connect the E root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 4, 11, 6, 1, 9, and 4, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
