Open strings and root positions

1 of the 6 open strings belong to F# Augmented Arpeggio: string 4 A# (3). None of those open-string tones is the F# root, so the root must be fretted on every string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play F# Augmented Arpeggio on the low C string at frets 2, 6, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets A# 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 6 through 1 at frets 6, 1, 8, 3, 11, and 6, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
