Play only the root on the first beat of each change: Bb (bars 1–2, Bbm6), Eb (bar 3, Ebm7), Bb (bars 4–5, Bbm6), F (bar 6, F7b9), Eb (bar 7, Ebm7), Bb (bar 8, Bbm6), C (bar 9, Cm7b5), F (bar 10, F7b9), Bb (bar 11, Bbm6), F (bar 12, F7b9). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to Bb.
When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: Db over Bbm6, Gb over Ebm7, A over F7b9, Eb over Cm7b5. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.
Play Bb Harmonic Minor (Bb C Db Eb F Gb A) up and down in frets 5–9, one note per beat at 165 BPM. Start and finish on Bb: 6th string fret 6, or 5th string fret 1 for the next position up.
