Practice drills

  1. 1. Find the changes in E Minor

    Play only the root on the first beat of each change: E (bars 1–2, Em7), C (bars 3–4, Cmaj7), B (bars 5–6, Bm7), A (bars 7–8, Am7). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to E.

  2. 2. Target the guide tones

    When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: G over Em7, E over Cmaj7, D over Bm7, C over Am7. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.

  3. 3. E Dorian in position

    Play E Dorian (E F# G A B C# D) up and down in open position (frets 0–4), one note per beat at 78 BPM. Start and finish on E: 6th string fret 0, or 5th string fret 7 for the next position up.
