Walking Through Section A Measures to Play an E Major Scale

Video Transcript

RYAN LARSON: Now, we're going to through and actually walk through the A section, and we'll start with our first four bars here. So remember we had our E major which is our I major for two bars. And then we have to land on our F sharp minor for a bar and then B7. Now, this important to notice because we're going to have to gear our walking so we end up starting on this F sharp minor. I'm going to show you and then we're going to go to the B7. So if you look at my hands now, I'm just going to walk up the scale and I might use some bebop notes or chromatic passing tones, right? You have a seven-note scale but I have to walk eight beats to get two measures, so I can put in a chromatic note, right? So, I use this note right here on the 3rd fret to walk, but I'm going to go through and walk to the first note starting in E, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, now 2, right? Now I'm on the F sharp 1-2-3-4-5, right? I'm on the 5 now, ii to V, uh, uh, uh and now if we keep going, we have our ii minor, our V7, and then our 1. So, to the first thing but in reverse order. So have I, ii-V, and then we have ii-V, I, and we go to the G sharp here that lead into the 6th. So we're going to go through that right now. So, we start on our I, ii-V, ii-V, I, iii and then will lead into the vi. And again, I'm just walking around this major scale pattern using the different notes as the root for where I start on the downbeat.
