Practice drills

  1. 1. Find the changes in G Minor

    Play only the root on the first beat of each change: G (bars 1–4, G5), C (bars 5–6, C5), G (bars 7–8, G5), D (bar 9, D5), C (bar 10, C5), G (bar 11, G5), D (bar 12, D5). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to G.

  2. 2. Target the guide tones

    These are power chords, so there is no third to target. Alternate root and fifth on each change: G–D over G5, C–G over C5, D–A over D5.

  3. 3. G Minor Pentatonic in position

    Play G Minor Pentatonic (G Bb C D F) up and down in frets 2–6, one note per beat at 94 BPM. Start and finish on G: 6th string fret 3, or 5th string fret 10 for the next position up.
