Open strings and root positions

1 of the 6 open strings belong to F Sus2 Arpeggio: string 3 G (2). None of those open-string tones is the F root, so the root must be fretted on every string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play F Sus2 Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 3, 5, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets G 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 3, 8, 3, 10, 8, and 3, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
