Orange numbers = scale degree of each note over the chord sounding beneath it

What you're hearing

  • The ♭5 is the blue note — touch it on the way through rather than landing on it.
  • 9ths and 6ths/13ths are upper extensions that add color above the basic chord tones.

How to play it

Play four eighth notes per chord, landing on G5 as Cmaj7 arrives. Keep the Db-to-B approach compact; don't kick the air at the bar line.
