Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play F Minor Add9 Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 3, 5, 6, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets G 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 3, 10, 3, 10, 6, and 3, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
