Play only the root on the first beat of each change: C (bar 1, Cmaj7), C (bar 2, C7), F (bar 2, beat 3, F7), E (bar 3, Em7), A (bar 3, beat 3, A7), D (bar 4, Dm7), G (bar 4, beat 3, G7), C (bar 5, Cmaj7), C (bar 5, beat 3, C7), F (bar 6, Fmaj7), and so on through the form. Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to C.
When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: E over Cmaj7, E over C7, A over F7, G over Em7, C# over A7, F over Dm7. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.
Play C Major Pentatonic (C D E G A) up and down in frets 7–11, one note per beat at 160 BPM. Start and finish on C: 6th string fret 8, or 5th string fret 3 for the next position up.
