Play only the root on the first beat of each change: F# (bars 1–2, F#m7), B (bar 3, B7), C# (bar 4, C#m7), F# (bars 5–6, F#m7), B (bar 7, Bm7), C# (bar 8, C#7). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to F#.
When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: A over F#m7, D# over B7, E over C#m7, D over Bm7, E# over C#7. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.
