Practice drills

1. Find the changes in C# Major

Play only the root on the first beat of each change: C# (bar 1, C#maj7), F# (bar 2, F#maj7), A# (bar 3, A#m7), G# (bar 4, G#7). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to C#.
2. Target the guide tones

When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: E# over C#maj7, A# over F#maj7, C# over A#m7, B# over G#7. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.
3. C# Major Pentatonic in position

Play C# Major Pentatonic (C# D# E# G# A#) up and down in frets 8–12, one note per beat at 78 BPM. Start and finish on C#: 6th string fret 9, or 5th string fret 4 for the next position up.

Guide tones for every chord in the chart
Chord	Root	3rd	7th / 6th
C#maj7	C#	E#	B# (7)
F#maj7	F#	A#	E# (7)
