Play F# Minor Add9 Arpeggio on the low C string at frets 1, 6, 8, and 9, 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, 1, 8, 3, 11, and 6, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
