Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play F Sus2 Arpeggio on the low C string at frets 0, 5, and 7, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets C on open string 6 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 5, 0, 7, 2, 10, and 5, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
