Open strings and root positions
3 of the 6 open strings belong to G Dominant 7 Sharp 9 Arpeggio: string 6 B (3), string 3 D (5), and string 1 B (3). None of those open-string tones is the G root, so the root must be fretted on every string.
First root on each string
Low-string pattern
On the lowest B string, the first-octave arpeggio pattern falls at frets 0, 3, 6, 8, and 11, with the G root at fret 8. On the highest B string, the first G is at fret 8.
Practice this tuning-specific layout
- Play G Dominant 7 Sharp 9 Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 0, 3, 6, 8, and 11, 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.
