F Augmented Arpeggio in 7-String Drop A Tuning

F Augmented Arpeggio in 7-String Drop A Tuning shows the same f augmented arpeggio chord tones across 7 strings tuned A E A D G B E. The seventh string adds lower chord-tone positions below a six-string layout while keeping the upper strings familiar.

Open strings and root positions

2 of the 7 open strings belong to F Augmented Arpeggio: string 7 A (3) and string 5 A (3). 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 Arpeggio on the low A string at frets 0, 4, and 8, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets A on open string 7 ring, then connect it to the nearest F root and two other arpeggio tones.
Connect the F root positions on strings 7 through 1 at frets 8, 1, 8, 3, 10, 6, and 1, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
