Open strings and root positions
6 of the 6 open strings belong to F Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio: string 6 E (7), string 5 A (3), string 4 E (7), string 3 A (3), string 2 C# (#5), and string 1 E (7). None of those open-string tones is the F root, so the root must be fretted on every string.
First root on each string
Low-string pattern
On the lowest E string, the first-octave arpeggio pattern falls at frets 0, 1, 5, and 9, with the F root at fret 1. On the highest E string, the first F is at fret 1.
Practice this tuning-specific layout
- Play F Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio on the low E string at frets 0, 1, 5, and 9, saying each note name and degree aloud.
- Build a phrase that lets E on open string 6 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 1, 8, 1, 8, 4, and 1, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
