Play only the root on the first beat of each change: B (bar 1, Bmaj7), B (bar 2, B7), E (bar 2, beat 3, E7), D# (bar 3, D#m7), G# (bar 3, beat 3, G#7), C# (bar 4, C#m7), F# (bar 4, beat 3, F#7), B (bar 5, Bmaj7), B (bar 5, beat 3, B7), E (bar 6, Emaj7), and so on through the form. Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to B.
When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: D# over Bmaj7, D# over B7, G# over E7, F# over D#m7, B# over G#7, E over C#m7. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.
Play B Major Pentatonic (B C# D# F# G#) up and down in frets 6–10, one note per beat at 160 BPM. Start and finish on B: 6th string fret 7, or 5th string fret 2 for the next position up.
