Open strings and root positions

None of the 6 open strings belongs to F# Dominant 7 Arpeggio. Every arpeggio tone must therefore be fretted, beginning with the first available tone on the low D string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play F# Dominant 7 Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 2, 4, 8, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Play the arpeggio without using an open string, then stop on the nearest F# root each time the line changes strings.
  3. Connect the F# root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 4, 9, 4, 11, 9, and 4, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
