Play only the root on the first beat of each change: B (bar 1, B), E (bar 2, E), F# (bar 3, F#), E (bar 4, E), B (bar 5, B), E (bar 6, E), F# (bar 7, F#), E (bar 8, E), B (bar 9, B), G# (bar 10, G#m7), and so on through the form. Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to B.
When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: D# over B, G# over E, A# over F#, B over G#m7. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.
