Practice drills

  1. 1. Find the changes in A Minor

    Play only the root on the first beat of each change: A (bars 1–2, Am7), D (bars 3–4, Dm7), F (bars 5–6, Fmaj7), E (bars 7–8, E7). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to A.

  2. 2. Target the guide tones

    When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: C over Am7, F over Dm7, A over Fmaj7, G# over E7. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.

  3. 3. A Dorian in position

    Play A Dorian (A B C D E F# G) up and down in frets 4–8, one note per beat at 82 BPM. Start and finish on A: 6th string fret 5, or 5th string fret 0 for the next position up.
