Open strings and root positions

1 of the 6 open strings belong to F Minor-Major 7 Arpeggio: string 5 Ab (b3). 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 Minor-Major 7 Arpeggio on the low C# string at frets 3, 4, 7, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets Ab 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 4, 9, 4, 11, 7, and 2, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
