Practice drills

1. Find the changes in G Minor

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

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

Play G Minor Pentatonic (G Bb C D F) up and down in frets 2–6, one note per beat at 171 BPM. Start and finish on G: 6th string fret 3, or 5th string fret 10 for the next position up.
