Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play F# Mixolydian Scale on the low Eb string at frets 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, and 10, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets D# on open string 6 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.
