Open strings and root positions

None of the 6 open strings belongs to F Augmented Arpeggio. Every arpeggio tone must therefore be fretted, beginning with the first available tone on the low C string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play F Augmented Arpeggio on the low C string at frets 1, 5, and 9, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Play the arpeggio without using an open string, then stop on the nearest F root each time the line changes strings.
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.
