Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play F# Minor 7 Arpeggio on the low C string at frets 1, 4, 6, and 9, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets E on open string 1 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, 11, 6, 11, 6, and 2, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
