Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play F Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio on the low C string at frets 1, 4, 5, and 9, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets E on open string 1 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 5, 10, 5, 10, 5, and 1, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
