Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play G Augmented Arpeggio on the low C string at frets 3, 7, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets G on open string 5 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 7, 0, 7, 2, 10, and 5, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
