  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, 9, 4, 9, 4, and 0, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
