Additional tips

Original pitch, no capo Standard EADGBE. F# major is the same pitch as G♭ major in the cover metadata. Keep the shown barre grips: no retuning or capo. Start below tempo to make each position change clean.

Let the harmony move Let upper notes ring, but release them when the chord changes. The A# → D#m move is the emotional hinge; let the minor arrival settle before B leads back to F#.

Start with five notes F# major pentatonic: F# G# A# C# D#. Use short answers over F#, D#m and B. Aim for A# over F#, F# over D#m, and D# over B. Adjust the phrase on A#: C# and F# are not settled chord tones there.

The note that changes A# major contains A#–C𝄪–E# (C𝄪 is the D fret; E# is F). Raise C# to D on this chord, then resolve D → D# when D#m arrives. This is V/vi, a major dominant, not the diatonic minor iii.

A local minor colour Over A# → D#m, D# harmonic minor is an option: D# E# F# G# A# B C𝄪. Treat it locally; return to F# major (F# G# A# B C# D# E#) elsewhere. Chord-tone endings matter more than running the scale.

A#7 and the return A#7 adds G#, which can resolve down to F# on D#m; D still rises to D#. Keep B as the last bar of the full cycle. Try D# → C# → A# across B → F# and leave space before your next answer.
