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, F#m7), D (bars 3–4, Dmaj7), C# (bars 5–6, C#m7), B (bars 7–8, Bm7). 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: A over F#m7, F# over Dmaj7, E over C#m7, D over Bm7. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.

  3. 3. F# Dorian in position

    Play F# Dorian (F# G# A B C# D# E) up and down in frets 1–5, one note per beat at 78 BPM. Start and finish on F#: 6th string fret 2, or 5th string fret 9 for the next position up.
