How to read this arpeggio

The chord tones are shown as pitch classes first. In the fretboard tool, square markers represent F# root notes, while circular markers represent the remaining tones in the arpeggio.

Use the interactive fretboard to locate the F# root notes and connect the remaining power chord chord tones across standard tuning.

This same arpeggio shape is also commonly called F#Fifth or F#5.
