"What do you do about the iv7 Chord?"
Playing the same i7 chord lick over the iv7 chord is the answer. The i7 lick is G G G Bb C which are all notes of the iv7 chord (C Eb G Bb). Though the rest of the band moves away, you're still playing the same rhythm and contour as them. Though they're not the same notes, they are in harmony with what the band is playing.
We don't always get this lucky, but we'll take it when we can! Give this a try by playing along to the original track.
