Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play G Minor 7 Arpeggio on the low D string at frets 0, 3, 5, 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 5, 10, 5, 0, 10, and 5, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
