Open strings and root positions

2 of the 6 open strings belong to G Augmented Arpeggio: string 6 D# (#5) and string 1 D# (#5). None of those open-string tones is the G root, so the root must be fretted on every string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play G Augmented Arpeggio on the low Eb string at frets 0, 4, and 8, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets D# on open string 6 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 4, 11, 6, 1, 9, and 4, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
