Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play G Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 0, 4, 7, and 8, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets B on open string 7 ring, then connect it to the nearest G root and two other arpeggio tones.
  3. Connect the G root positions on strings 7 through 1 at frets 8, 3, 10, 5, 0, 8, and 3, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
