Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play Eb Augmented Arpeggio on the low C# string at frets 2, 6, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets Eb on open string 1 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 2, 7, 2, 9, 5, and 0, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
