Open strings and root positions
None of the 7 open strings belongs to F# Dominant 7 Arpeggio. Every arpeggio tone must therefore be fretted, beginning with the first available tone on the low G string.
First root on each string
Low-string pattern
On the lowest G string, the first-octave arpeggio pattern falls at frets 3, 6, 9, and 11, with the F# root at fret 11. On the highest D string, the first F# is at fret 4.
Practice this tuning-specific layout
- Play F# Dominant 7 Arpeggio on the low G string at frets 3, 6, 9, and 11, 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 7 through 1 at frets 11, 4, 11, 6, 1, 9, and 4, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
