Practice drills

  1. 1. Find the changes in Eb Minor

    Play only the root on the first beat of each change: Eb (bars 1–2, Eb5), Gb (bar 3, Gb5), F (bar 3, beat 3, F5), Eb (bars 4–5, Eb5), Gb (bar 6, Gb5), Ab (bar 6, beat 3, Ab5), Gb (bar 7, Gb5), F (bar 7, beat 3, F5), Eb (bar 8, Eb5). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to Eb.

  2. 2. Target the guide tones

    These are power chords, so there is no third to target. Alternate root and fifth on each change: Eb–Bb over Eb5, Gb–Db over Gb5, F–C over F5, Ab–Eb over Ab5.

  3. 3. Eb Natural Minor in position

    Play Eb Natural Minor (Eb F Gb Ab Bb Cb Db) up and down in frets 10–14, one note per beat at 138 BPM. Start and finish on Eb: 6th string fret 11, or 5th string fret 6 for the next position up.
