Practice drills

1. Find the changes in Eb Minor

Play only the root on the first beat of each change: Eb (bars 1–2, Ebm), Cb (bars 3–4, Cb), Gb (bars 5–6, Gb), Db (bars 7–8, Db). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to Eb.
2. Target the guide tones

When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: Gb over Ebm, Eb over Cb, Bb over Gb, F over Db. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.
