Open strings and root positions
None of the 7 open strings belongs to F# Major Add9 Arpeggio. Every arpeggio tone must therefore be fretted, beginning with the first available tone on the low B string.
First root on each string
Low-string pattern
On the lowest B string, the first-octave arpeggio pattern falls at frets 2, 7, 9, and 11, with the F# root at fret 7. On the highest E string, the first F# is at fret 2.
Practice this tuning-specific layout
- Play F# Major Add9 Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 2, 7, 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 7, 2, 9, 4, 11, 7, and 2, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
