So, now that we have our two minor chords down, we're going to go through and look at our five-seven chord, which starts on the five note. So if we take a look at our scale again, remember this is our open, open strings here, and we have each fret marking down below. So our one was right here on the second string, first fret. Now, our five is right here below it, on the third string, first fret. And we're going to go one, three, open, one three, open, one three and we'll have five to five, utilizing the same E-Flat Major scale, but now we're going to have an A-Flat seven--or no, a B-Flat seven. As we walk through, let's start right here on the five. So now we've made five our route. Five. Five. Five. Five. Now I'm going to go to the two minor. Two. Five. One. Two. Five. One. So that's basic two minor to the five-seven to a one-major chord progression and we utilized the same scale pattern, but we just make different routes on different downbeats. So I have two on the downbeat, then I have five on the downbeat, then I have one on the downbeat, but the scale stays the same.
