Practice drills

  1. 1. Find the changes in F Minor

    Play only the root on the first beat of each change: F (bars 1–2, Fm7), Bb (bars 3–4, Bb9). 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: Ab over Fm7, D over Bb9. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.

  3. 3. F Phrygian in position

    Play F Phrygian (F Gb Ab Bb C Db Eb) up and down in open position (frets 0–4), one note per beat at 128 BPM. Start and finish on F: 6th string fret 1, or 5th string fret 8 for the next position up.
