Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play F# Minor Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 2, 7, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets A on open string 5 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.
