Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play Eb Major 9 Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 0, 1, 3, 5, and 8, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets D on open string 6 ring, then connect it to the nearest Eb root and two other arpeggio tones.
Connect the Eb root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 1, 8, 1, 8, 4, and 1, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
