Build a melody around two-bar chord changes
- Count two full bars on each chord at 122 BPM: D, C, G, D. Play its root once at the start of each two-bar block.
- Turn each root into a short two-note phrase using the chord tones: D–F# over D, C–E over C, and G–B over G.
- Keep the first bar of each block for the phrase and the second bar for silence. On the final D, resolve to D and listen through the end of the form.

Why practice with rock?
Build Your Chops
Rock demands solid technique - fast runs, powerful bends, and confident vibrato. It's where you develop real guitar muscle.
Learn to Solo
The minor pentatonic is your home base, but rock teaches you how to make those five notes sing with feel and attitude.
Play With Power
Rock is about dynamics and energy. Learn to make your guitar scream, whisper, and everything in between.
Practice tips
- Don't underestimate the major pentatonic for rock - it's not just for country
- Practice your bends in tune before adding vibrato
- Dynamics matter even in rock - pull back before the big moments
