Practice drills

  1. 1. Find the changes in B Minor

    Play only the root on the first beat of each change: B (bars 1–2, Bm7), E (bars 3–4, E9). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to B.

  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 E9. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.

  3. 3. B Phrygian in position

    Play B Phrygian (B C D E F# G A) up and down in frets 6–10, one note per beat at 128 BPM. Start and finish on B: 6th string fret 7, or 5th string fret 2 for the next position up.
