Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play F# Sus4 Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 4, 9, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets B on open string 2 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 4, 9, 4, 11, 7, and 2, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
