Practice drills

  1. 1. Find the changes in F Minor

    Play only the root on the first beat of each change: F (bars 1–4, F5), Bb (bars 5–6, Bb5), F (bars 7–8, F5), C (bar 9, C5), Bb (bar 10, Bb5), F (bar 11, F5), C (bar 12, C5). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to F.

  2. 2. Target the guide tones

    These are power chords, so there is no third to target. Alternate root and fifth on each change: F–C over F5, Bb–F over Bb5, C–G over C5.

  3. 3. F Minor Pentatonic in position

    Play F Minor Pentatonic (F Ab Bb C Eb) up and down in open position (frets 0–4), one note per beat at 94 BPM. Start and finish on F: 6th string fret 1, or 5th string fret 8 for the next position up.
