Open strings and root positions
1 of the 7 open strings belong to Eb Dominant 7 Arpeggio: string 3 G (3). None of those open-string tones is the Eb root, so the root must be fretted on every string.
First root on each string
Low-string pattern
On the lowest B string, the first-octave arpeggio pattern falls at frets 2, 4, 8, and 11, with the Eb root at fret 4. On the highest E string, the first Eb is at fret 11.
Practice this tuning-specific layout
- Play Eb Dominant 7 Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 2, 4, 8, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
- Build a phrase that lets G on open string 3 ring, then connect it to the nearest Eb root and two other arpeggio tones.
- Connect the Eb root positions on strings 7 through 1 at frets 4, 11, 6, 1, 8, 4, and 11, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
