Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play F# Sus2 Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 4, 6, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets F# on open string 3 ring, then connect it to the nearest F# root and two other arpeggio tones.
  3. Connect the F# root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 4, 9, 4, 0, 9, and 4, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
