Root on the 3rd string

When you play the root on the 3rd string arpeggio, you are going to start on the root...go down to the 4th string...work your way up to the 1st string...and come back down to end on the root on the 3rd string. This way you will develop your ear to hear all of the notes in relationship to the root.
