F# Augmented Arpeggio in 7-String Standard Tuning

F# Augmented Arpeggio in 7-String Standard Tuning shows the same f# augmented arpeggio chord tones across 7 strings tuned B E A D G B E. The seventh string adds lower chord-tone positions below a six-string layout while keeping the upper strings familiar.

Open strings and root positions

1 of the 7 open strings belong to F# Augmented Arpeggio: string 4 C## (#5). None of those open-string tones is the F# root, so the root must be fretted on every string.

Low-string pattern

On the lowest B string, the first-octave arpeggio pattern falls at frets 3, 7, and 11, with the F# root at fret 7. On the highest E string, the first F# is at fret 2.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play F# Augmented Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 3, 7, and 11, 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 7, 2, 9, 4, 11, 7, and 2, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
