Practice this tuning-specific layout

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