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 D string.

Low-string pattern

On the lowest D string, the first-octave arpeggio pattern falls at frets 3, 7, and 11, with the F root at fret 3. On the highest D string, the first F is at fret 3.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play F Augmented Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 3, 7, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Play the arpeggio without using an open string, then stop on the nearest F root each time the line changes strings.
  3. Connect the F root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 3, 10, 3, 10, 6, and 3, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
