Practice drills

  1. 1. Find the changes in F# Minor

    Play only the root on the first beat of each change: B (bar 1, Bm7), E (bar 2, E7), A (bar 3, Amaj7), D (bar 4, Dmaj7), G# (bar 5, G#m7b5), C# (bar 6, C#7b9), F# (bars 7–8, F#m7). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to F#.

  2. 2. Target the guide tones

    When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: D over Bm7, G# over E7, C# over Amaj7, F# over Dmaj7, B over G#m7b5, E# over C#7b9. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.

  3. 3. F# Dorian in position

    Play F# Dorian (F# G# A B C# D# E) up and down in frets 1–5, one note per beat at 140 BPM. Start and finish on F#: 6th string fret 2, or 5th string fret 9 for the next position up.
