Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play F# Power Chord Arpeggio on the low G string at frets 6 and 11, 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 7 through 1 at frets 11, 4, 11, 6, 1, 9, and 4, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
