Open strings and root positions

3 of the 6 open strings belong to Eb Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio: string 6 D (7), string 4 D (7), and string 1 D (7). None of those open-string tones is the Eb root, so the root must be fretted on every string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play Eb Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 0, 1, 5, and 9, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets D on open string 6 ring, then connect it to the nearest Eb root and two other arpeggio tones.
  3. Connect the Eb root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 1, 6, 1, 9, 6, and 1, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
