Practice drills

  1. 1. Find the changes in D Minor

    Play only the root on the first beat of each change: D (bar 1, Dm7), F (bar 2, F), Bb (bar 3, Bbmaj7), A (bar 4, A7), D (bar 5, Dm7), F (bar 6, F), Bb (bar 7, Bbmaj7), A (bar 8, A7). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to D.

  2. 2. Target the guide tones

    When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: F over Dm7, A over F, D over Bbmaj7, C# over A7. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.

  3. 3. D Minor Pentatonic in position

    Play D Minor Pentatonic (D F G A C) up and down in frets 9–13, one note per beat at 76 BPM. Start and finish on D: 6th string fret 10, or 5th string fret 5 for the next position up.
