Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play G Augmented Major 7 Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 1, 4, 5, and 9, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets F# on open string 3 ring, then connect it to the nearest G root and two other arpeggio tones.
  3. Connect the G root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 5, 10, 5, 1, 10, and 5, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
