Play G Dominant 9 Arpeggio on the low E string at frets 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets B 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 3, 8, 3, 11, 8, and 3, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
