Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play F# Dominant 9 Arpeggio on the low C string at frets 1, 4, 6, 8, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets A# on open string 4 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 6, 1, 8, 3, 11, and 6, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
