Play only the root on the first beat of each change: D (bar 1, Dmaj7), D (bar 2, D7), G (bar 2, beat 3, G7), F# (bar 3, F#m7), B (bar 3, beat 3, B7), E (bar 4, Em7), A (bar 4, beat 3, A7), D (bar 5, Dmaj7), D (bar 5, beat 3, D7), G (bar 6, Gmaj7), and so on through the form. Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to D.
When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: F# over Dmaj7, F# over D7, B over G7, A over F#m7, D# over B7, G over Em7. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.
Play D Major Pentatonic (D E F# A B) up and down in frets 9–13, one note per beat at 160 BPM. Start and finish on D: 6th string fret 10, or 5th string fret 5 for the next position up.
