Play only the root on the first beat of each change: F# (bar 1, F#), B (bar 2, B), F# (bar 3, F#), C# (bar 4, C#), F# (bar 5, F#), B (bar 6, B), C# (bar 7, C#), F# (bar 8, F#). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to F#.
When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: A# over F#, D# over B, E# over C#. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.
