Knowing the Minor 2-5 Roots of A Flat Major on Bass

So now we have our one major, our two minor, our five-seven, and our six. So to add the last two chords we're going to learn today, we're going to do our two-five into our six. So we have our two-five into our major one, right. Two, five, one. So now if we want to go to our six, we can do our minor two-five which goes - which is the two-five of this scale, one, two, three, four, five, six. All right. One, two, three, four, five. So we have two, five, one. So if we look at the major scale, this is our seven and our three. And you can hear how that wants to go there. So if you use seven and three to go to six, it's a minor two-five, and it'll be notated as a G half diminished to a C altered which goes to that F minor. So now we're going to start with a minor two-five and go to a major two-five. So we have minor, major five, minor, major two, five, one, minor, two-five, one, major, minor, two, five, one. So that's just two more chords to add in under your belt, and they lead right into your minor chord right there, and it's a great thing to get under your fingers, and remember you also have your three-six-two-five-ones. So you got all those different two-fives that come out of the major scale. So go through and start flowing through your jazz tunes and you can get all those notes under your fingers.
