On all of the 4 beats after the dead note, you can improvise like I think
he does. I wrote in the B throughout, but you can play an F#, an A or a Ab on occasion
to spice it up. Really almost any note there in the neighborhood sounds cool,
you can just play around with it and see what you like. If you can pick up his
patterns you might have a better feel for knowing what you want to do with it.
