Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play G Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio on the low E string at frets 2, 3, 7, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets B on open string 7 ring, then connect it to the nearest G root and two other arpeggio tones.
Connect the G root positions on strings 8 through 1 at frets 3, 8, 3, 10, 5, 0, 8, and 3, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
