Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play G Major 9 Arpeggio on the low Eb string at frets 3, 4, 6, 8, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets F# on open string 3 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 4, 11, 6, 1, 9, and 4, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
