Open strings and root positions

4 of the 7 open strings belong to Eb Major 7 Arpeggio: string 7 G (3), string 6 D (7), string 5 G (3), 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 Major 7 Arpeggio on the low G string at frets 0, 3, 7, and 8, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets G on open string 7 ring, then connect it to the nearest Eb root and two other arpeggio tones.
  3. Connect the Eb root positions on strings 7 through 1 at frets 8, 1, 8, 3, 10, 6, and 1, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
