Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play E Sus2 Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 2, 4, and 9, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Play the arpeggio without using an open string, then stop on the nearest E root each time the line changes strings.
  3. Connect the E root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 2, 9, 4, 11, 7, and 2, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
