Practice drills

1. Find the changes in C# Major

Play only the root on the first beat of each change: C# (bars 1–4, C#7), F# (bars 5–6, F#9), C# (bars 7–8, C#7), G# (bar 9, G#9), F# (bar 10, F#9), C# (bar 11, C#7), G# (bar 12, G#9). 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 C#7, A# over F#9, B# over G#9. 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 8–12, one note per beat at 68 BPM. Start and finish on C#: 6th string fret 9, or 5th string fret 4 for the next position up.

Guide tones for every chord in the chart
