Open strings and root positions
1 of the 6 open strings belong to Eb Sus2 Arpeggio: string 3 F (2). None of those open-string tones is the Eb root, so the root must be fretted on every string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout
- Play Eb Sus2 Arpeggio on the low C string at frets 3, 5, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
- Build a phrase that lets F 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 3, 8, 3, 10, 6, and 1, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
