How to read this arpeggio
The chord tones are shown as pitch classes first. In the fretboard tool, square markers represent Ab root notes, while circular markers represent the remaining tones in the arpeggio.
Use the interactive fretboard to locate the Ab root notes and connect the remaining augmented chord tones across standard tuning.
This same arpeggio shape is also commonly called Ab Augmented Triad.
