Practice drills

  1. 1. Find the changes in Eb Minor

    Play only the root on the first beat of each change: Ab (bar 1, Abm7), Db (bar 2, Db7), Gb (bar 3, Gbmaj7), Cb (bar 4, Cbmaj7), F (bar 5, Fm7b5), Bb (bar 6, Bb7b9), Eb (bars 7–8, Ebm7). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to Eb.

  2. 2. Target the guide tones

    When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: Cb over Abm7, F over Db7, Bb over Gbmaj7, Eb over Cbmaj7, Ab over Fm7b5, D over Bb7b9. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.

  3. 3. Eb Dorian in position

    Play Eb Dorian (Eb F Gb Ab Bb C Db) up and down in frets 10–14, one note per beat at 140 BPM. Start and finish on Eb: 6th string fret 11, or 5th string fret 6 for the next position up.
