Play only the root on the first beat of each change: E (bars 1–2, Em7), A (bar 3, A7), B (bar 4, Bm7), E (bars 5–6, Em7), A (bar 7, Am7), B (bar 8, B7). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to E.
When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: G over Em7, C# over A7, D over Bm7, C over Am7, D# over B7. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.
