Open strings and root positions

1 of the 6 open strings belong to F Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio: string 4 C# (#5). 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 Eb string at frets 1, 2, 6, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets C# on open string 4 ring, then connect it to the nearest F root and two other arpeggio tones.
  3. Connect the F 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.
