Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play F# Locrian Scale on the low Eb string at frets 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 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 F# root and two other scale tones.
Connect the F# root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 3, 10, 5, 0, 8, and 3, adding the nearest scale tone between each pair of roots.
