Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play Eb Major 7 Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 3, 4, 8, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets D on open string 3 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 4, 11, 6, 1, 9, and 4, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
