Instructions

Here's a little exercise to learn the notes on the fretboard and get familiar with target notes during chord changes.

The idea is to aim for the root of the chord currently being played, or even to play the root of the next chord slightly ahead of time.

The backing track chords are G / F / Bb / C, or G / F / Bb / C in English notation.

The diagram is available here:

Practice with the backing track by playing the notes of the current chord, or those of the next chord just before the change.
