Open strings and root positions

None of the 6 open strings belongs to F# Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio. Every arpeggio tone must therefore be fretted, beginning with the first available tone on the low E string.

Low-string pattern

On the lowest E string, the first-octave arpeggio pattern falls at frets 1, 2, 6, and 10, with the F# root at fret 2. On the highest E string, the first F# is at fret 2.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play F# Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio on the low E string at frets 1, 2, 6, and 10, 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 2, 9, 2, 9, 5, and 2, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
