Walking Through Section B Measures to Play a G Major Scale

RYAN LARSON: All right. So now we walked through our A section and we ended up on our 6 chord, right? This E minor. And we'll go through and analyze it again, right? We went from our G major here, G major, B minor, which led into this E minor, which we're going to walk for two measures, right here. E minor, two measures. Then we're going to walk A minor for two measures. And then we'll walk the A minor, D7 again, 2 minor 5, right? To our 1-6-2-5 at the end, which I'll go through. So we're going to walk 6 for two measures, 2 for two measures, then we're going to walk 2-5, and then we're going to do this 1-6-2-5 turn around. So we start right here, 1-2-3-4-5-6. So there's our root, right? 6 so I gotta get eight notes out of this scale and then, and on here. So 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-2. And now I'm on the 2 chord, right? 2, and I got to get eight notes here. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 and 2-5-1-6 or 1-6-2-5-1. And you can do that like this, too. 1-6-2-5. So basically, we just really started on this 6 and we walked it for two whole measures in the scale. Two for eight beats as well, two for four beats. 5-1-6-2-5-1. And then we're right back at the top of the tune. So that's a quick run through of how to utilize these different roots that we get out of a major scale and how we still stayed in the major scale pattern, but we're able to walk through an entire tune just utilizing these different roots that are derived out of the major scale.
