Open strings and root positions

3 of the 7 open strings belong to F Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio: string 6 E (7), string 5 A (3), and string 1 E (7). None of those open-string tones is the F root, so the root must be fretted on every string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play F Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 2, 5, 6, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets E on open string 6 ring, then connect it to the nearest F root and two other arpeggio tones.
  3. Connect the F root positions on strings 7 through 1 at frets 6, 1, 8, 3, 10, 6, and 1, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
