Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play F# Dominant 7 Sharp 9 Arpeggio on the low E string at frets 0, 2, 5, 6, and 9, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets E on open string 6 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 2, 9, 2, 9, 5, and 2, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
