Open strings and root positions
3 of the 7 open strings belong to F# Minor 7 Flat 5 Arpeggio: string 6 E (b7), string 5 A (b3), and string 1 E (b7). None of those open-string tones is the F# root, so the root must be fretted on every string.
First root on each string
Low-string pattern
On the lowest B string, the first-octave arpeggio pattern falls at frets 1, 5, 7, and 10, 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# Minor 7 Flat 5 Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 1, 5, 7, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
- Build a phrase that lets E on open string 6 ring, then connect it to the nearest F# root and two other arpeggio tones.
- 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.
