Open strings and root positions
6 of the 6 open strings belong to E Dominant 7 Sharp 9 Arpeggio: string 6 D (b7), string 5 F## (#9), string 4 D (b7), string 3 F## (#9), string 2 B (5), and string 1 D (b7). 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 D string, the first-octave arpeggio pattern falls at frets 0, 2, 5, 6, and 9, with the E root at fret 2. On the highest D string, the first E is at fret 2.
Practice this tuning-specific layout
- Play E Dominant 7 Sharp 9 Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 0, 2, 5, 6, and 9, saying each note name and degree aloud.
- Build a phrase that lets D on open string 6 ring, then connect it to the nearest E root and two other arpeggio tones.
- Connect the E root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 2, 9, 2, 9, 5, and 2, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
