Open strings and root positions

1 of the 6 open strings belong to G Power Chord Arpeggio: string 3 D (5). None of those open-string tones is the G root, so the root must be fretted on every string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

  1. Play G Power Chord Arpeggio on the low B string at frets 3 and 8, saying each note name and degree aloud.
  2. Build a phrase that lets D on open string 3 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 8, 3, 10, 5, 1, and 8, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
