Practice drills

  1. 1. Find the changes in B Major

    Play only the root on the first beat of each change: B (bar 1, Bmaj7), E (bar 2, Emaj7), G# (bar 3, G#m7), F# (bar 4, F#7). 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 Bmaj7, G# over Emaj7, B over G#m7, A# over F#7. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.

  3. 3. B Major Pentatonic in position

    Play B Major Pentatonic (B C# D# F# G#) up and down in frets 6–10, one note per beat at 78 BPM. Start and finish on B: 6th string fret 7, or 5th string fret 2 for the next position up.
