Practice drills

1. Find the changes in C Major

Play only the root on the first beat of each change: C (bars 1–4, C7), F (bars 5–6, F9), C (bars 7–8, C7), G (bar 9, G9), F (bar 10, F9), C (bar 11, C7), G (bar 12, G9). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to C.
2. Target the guide tones

When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: E over C7, A over F9, B over G9. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.
3. C Major Pentatonic in position

Play C Major Pentatonic (C D E G A) up and down in frets 7–11, one note per beat at 68 BPM. Start and finish on C: 6th string fret 8, or 5th string fret 3 for the next position up.
