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, F#5), B (bars 5–6, B5), F# (bars 7–8, F#5), C# (bar 9, C#5), B (bar 10, B5), F# (bar 11, F#5), C# (bar 12, C#5). 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 F#5, B–F# over B5, C#–G# over C#5.

  3. 3. F# Minor Pentatonic in position

    Play F# Minor Pentatonic (F# A B C# E) up and down in frets 1–5, one note per beat at 94 BPM. Start and finish on F#: 6th string fret 2, or 5th string fret 9 for the next position up.
