Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play F# Dominant 7 Flat 9 Arpeggio on the low G string at frets 0, 3, 6, 9, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets G on open string 7 ring, then connect it to the nearest F# root and two other arpeggio tones.
Connect the F# root positions on strings 7 through 1 at frets 11, 4, 11, 6, 1, 9, and 4, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
