Practice drills

  1. 1. Find the changes in Ab Minor

    Play only the root on the first beat of each change: Ab (bar 1, Abm7), Cb (bar 2, Cb), Fb (bar 3, Fbmaj7), Eb (bar 4, Eb7), Ab (bar 5, Abm7), Cb (bar 6, Cb), Fb (bar 7, Fbmaj7), Eb (bar 8, Eb7). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to Ab.

  2. 2. Target the guide tones

    When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: Cb over Abm7, Eb over Cb, Ab over Fbmaj7, G over Eb7. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.
