Practice drills

  1. 1. Find the changes in C# Minor

    Play only the root on the first beat of each change: C# (bars 1–2, C#m7), F# (bar 3, F#m7), C# (bar 4, C#m7). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to C#.

  2. 2. Target the guide tones

    When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: E over C#m7, A over F#m7. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.

  3. 3. C# Dorian in position

    Play C# Dorian (C# D# E F# G# A# B) up and down in frets 8–12, one note per beat at 100 BPM. Start and finish on C#: 6th string fret 9, or 5th string fret 4 for the next position up.
