Open strings and root positions

2 of the 6 open strings belong to Eb Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio: string 5 B (#5) and string 2 B (#5). 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 E string at frets 3, 7, 10, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets B on open string 5 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 11, 4, 11, 7, 4, and 11, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
