Practice drills

  1. 1. Find the changes in Bb Minor

    Play only the root on the first beat of each change: Bb (bars 1–4, Bb5), Eb (bars 5–6, Eb5), Bb (bars 7–8, Bb5), F (bar 9, F5), Eb (bar 10, Eb5), Bb (bar 11, Bb5), F (bar 12, F5). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to Bb.

  2. 2. Target the guide tones

    These are power chords, so there is no third to target. Alternate root and fifth on each change: Bb–F over Bb5, Eb–Bb over Eb5, F–C over F5.

  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 94 BPM. Start and finish on Bb: 6th string fret 6, or 5th string fret 1 for the next position up.
