Open strings and root positions

3 of the 6 open strings belong to F Augmented Arpeggio: string 5 A (3), string 3 A (3), and string 2 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

Play F Augmented Arpeggio on the low E string at frets 1, 5, and 9, 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 1, 8, 1, 8, 4, and 1, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
