Practice drills

  1. 1. Find the changes in Bb Minor

    Play only the root on the first beat of each change: Bb (bar 1, Bbm7), Db (bar 2, Db), Gb (bar 3, Gbmaj7), F (bar 4, F7), Bb (bar 5, Bbm7), Db (bar 6, Db), Gb (bar 7, Gbmaj7), F (bar 8, F7). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to Bb.

  2. 2. Target the guide tones

    When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: Db over Bbm7, F over Db, Bb over Gbmaj7, A over F7. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.

  3. 3. Bb Minor Pentatonic in position

    Play Bb Minor Pentatonic (Bb Db Eb F Ab) up and down in frets 5–9, one note per beat at 76 BPM. Start and finish on Bb: 6th string fret 6, or 5th string fret 1 for the next position up.
