Open strings and root positions

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

Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play G Augmented Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 0, 4, and 8, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets B on open string 6 ring, then connect it to the nearest G root and two other arpeggio tones.
Connect the G root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 8, 3, 10, 5, 1, and 8, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
