Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play F# Sus4 Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 0, 2, and 7, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets B on open string 6 ring, then connect it to the nearest F# root and two other arpeggio tones.
Connect the F# root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 7, 0, 7, 2, 10, and 5, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
