Practice drills

  1. 1. Find the changes in B Minor

    Play only the root on the first beat of each change: B (bars 1–4, B5), E (bars 5–6, E5), B (bars 7–8, B5), F# (bar 9, F#5), E (bar 10, E5), B (bar 11, B5), F# (bar 12, F#5). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to B.

  2. 2. Target the guide tones

    These are power chords, so there is no third to target. Alternate root and fifth on each change: B–F# over B5, E–B over E5, F#–C# over F#5.

  3. 3. B Minor Pentatonic in position

    Play B Minor Pentatonic (B D E F# A) up and down in frets 6–10, one note per beat at 94 BPM. Start and finish on B: 6th string fret 7, or 5th string fret 2 for the next position up.
