Post Motive Scheme Example
I was just reading about how jazz pianists memorize charts and it said they always connect it to the form so here are the motive schemes made of four beats over 12 bars. The last ones are the difficult ones so you could just repeat the first 8 bars and you'd be good to go for sections with 16 bars.

Also, I put dotted lines where the motive story ends; the one where you start on train tracks and end with schooners rescuing you from capsizing. The dotted line represents where the story ends and starts over.

If you lost your place you could start with the correct motives [train tracks] in the place with the dotted lines. Especially if you practice starting from those locations.

Also, notice the first motives only have three places to put your fingers so you'll have to repeat a note or add a note so that they match the 4 pitched ideas. Make sure the note you add doesn't duplicate an existing motive. If you skip two strings to play the extra note it will definitely avoid duplicating any of the existing motives because none of them do that.

Anyway, in the beginning just play up and down the stings chromatically. Don't worry about more complex Dance Directions until you've got this going on.
