Open strings and root positions

Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play G Minor-Major 7 Arpeggio on the low E string at frets 2, 3, 6, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Play the arpeggio without using an open string, then stop on the nearest G root each time the line changes strings.
  3. 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.
