Playing A Composition: Measures 11 & 12

So now we have the 1st 4 measures down of the B section. You have those nice chromatic notes that leads into the bebop tunes again. So I have this 2,5 and B flat and it is just going up that nice arpeggio. So it starts right on the 4, skips the 3rd, skips a 3rd, skips a 3rd. So if you look at that here is your B flat major scale you are skipping a 3rd. So really in this scale and then I go into A flat minor D flat 7 which is at a G flat major and it outlines a G flat major scale. So here is your G flat major scale, just 1,3,5,7 and when it gets to the 7 it just falls down chromatically, there is the 7,6 you see how it just falls down chromatically so I got this. So you do your run at C first. So it is this nice quick bebop run that goes through 2 keys and it ends right here and that B flat major again for that last A section which we are going to go through in a couple of seconds.
