Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play Eb Sus2 Arpeggio on the low G string at frets 3, 8, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets F 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 7 through 1 at frets 8, 1, 8, 3, 10, 6, and 1, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
