Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play F# Augmented Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 3, 7, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets F# on open string 5 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 7, 0, 7, 2, 10, and 5, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
