F# Minor-Major 7 Arpeggio in 7-String Drop G Tuning
F# Minor-Major 7 Arpeggio in 7-String Drop G Tuning shows the same f# minor-major 7 arpeggio chord tones across 7 strings tuned G D G C F A D. The seventh string adds lower chord-tone positions below a six-string layout while keeping the upper strings familiar.

Open strings and root positions
2 of the 7 open strings belong to F# Minor-Major 7 Arpeggio: string 3 E# (7) and string 2 A (b3). 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 G string, the first-octave arpeggio pattern falls at frets 2, 6, 10, and 11, with the F# root at fret 11. On the highest D string, the first F# is at fret 4.
Practice this tuning-specific layout
- Play F# Minor-Major 7 Arpeggio on the low G string at frets 2, 6, 10, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
- Build a phrase that lets E# on open string 3 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 11, 4, 11, 6, 1, 9, and 4, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
