Play only the root on the first beat of each change: C# (bars 1–2, C#m6), F# (bar 3, F#m7), C# (bars 4–5, C#m6), G# (bar 6, G#7b9), F# (bar 7, F#m7), C# (bar 8, C#m6), D# (bar 9, D#m7b5), G# (bar 10, G#7b9), C# (bar 11, C#m6), G# (bar 12, G#7b9). 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#m6, A over F#m7, B# over G#7b9, F# over D#m7b5. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.
Play C# Harmonic Minor (C# D# E F# G# A B#) up and down in frets 8–12, one note per beat at 165 BPM. Start and finish on C#: 6th string fret 9, or 5th string fret 4 for the next position up.
