Open strings and root positions
2 of the 6 open strings belong to F# Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio: string 3 E# (7) and string 1 C## (#5). 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# Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio on the low C string at frets 2, 5, 6, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
- Build a phrase that lets E# on open string 3 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 6, 11, 6, 1, 9, and 4, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
