Open strings and root positions

3 of the 6 open strings belong to F# Augmented Arpeggio: string 6 C## (#5), string 4 C## (#5), and string 1 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 D string, the first-octave arpeggio pattern falls at frets 0, 4, and 8, with the F# root at fret 4. On the highest D string, the first F# is at fret 4.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play F# Augmented Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 0, 4, and 8, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets C## on open string 6 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 4, 9, 4, 11, 9, and 4, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
