Open strings and root positions

1 of the 7 open strings belong to Eb Major Pentatonic Scale: string 3 G (3). None of those open-string tones is the Eb root, so the root must be fretted on every string.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play Eb Major Pentatonic Scale on the low A string at frets 1, 3, 6, 8, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets G on open string 3 ring, then connect it to the nearest Eb root and two other scale tones.
Connect the Eb root positions on strings 7 through 1 at frets 6, 11, 6, 1, 8, 4, and 11, adding the nearest scale tone between each pair of roots.
