Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play F# Sus4 Arpeggio on the low Eb string at frets 3, 8, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets C# on open string 4 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 3, 10, 5, 0, 8, and 3, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
