Play only the root on the first beat of each change: E (bars 1–2, E5), G (bar 3, G5), F# (bar 3, beat 3, F#5), E (bars 4–5, E5), G (bar 6, G5), A (bar 6, beat 3, A5), G (bar 7, G5), F# (bar 7, beat 3, F#5), E (bar 8, E5). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to E.
These are power chords, so there is no third to target. Alternate root and fifth on each change: E–B over E5, G–D over G5, F#–C# over F#5, A–E over A5.
Play E Natural Minor (E F# G A B C D) up and down in open position (frets 0–4), one note per beat at 138 BPM. Start and finish on E: 6th string fret 0, or 5th string fret 7 for the next position up.
