Practice drills

  1. 1. Find the changes in G Minor

    Play only the root on the first beat of each change: G (bars 1–2, Gm7), C (bar 3, Cm7), G (bar 4, Gm7). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to G.

  2. 2. Target the guide tones

    When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: Bb over Gm7, Eb over Cm7. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.

  3. 3. G Dorian in position

    Play G Dorian (G A Bb C D E F) up and down in frets 2–6, one note per beat at 100 BPM. Start and finish on G: 6th string fret 3, or 5th string fret 10 for the next position up.
