Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play F# Major 7 Arpeggio on the low C string at frets 1, 5, 6, and 10, 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 6 through 1 at frets 6, 11, 6, 11, 6, and 2, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
