Play only the root on the first beat of each change: C# (bars 1–2, C#m7), F# (bars 3–4, F#9). 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 C#m7, A# over F#9. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.
