Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play F Power Chord Arpeggio on the low G string at frets 5 and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets C on open string 4 ring, then connect it to the nearest F root and two other arpeggio tones.
  3. Connect the F root positions on strings 7 through 1 at frets 10, 3, 10, 5, 0, 8, and 3, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
