Open strings and root positions
2 of the 6 open strings belong to F Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio: 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
- Play F Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 2, 3, 7, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
- Build a phrase that lets A on open string 5 ring, then connect it to the nearest F root and two other arpeggio tones.
- Connect the F 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.
