Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play F# Diminished Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 4, 7, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Play the arpeggio without using an open string, then stop on the nearest F# root each time the line changes strings.
Connect the F# root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 4, 11, 4, 11, 7, and 4, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
