Play only the root on the first beat of each change: A (bars 1–2, Am7), D (bars 3–4, D9). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to A.
When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: C over Am7, F# over D9. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.
Play A Phrygian (A Bb C D E F G) up and down in frets 4–8, one note per beat at 128 BPM. Start and finish on A: 6th string fret 5, or 5th string fret 0 for the next position up.
