Questions & AnswersRYAN LARSON: All right, so we've went through and we walked our ii-V through measures 9 and 10, then 11 and 12, we have all these fast chords going here. So we have G sharp, C sharp, F sharp, B right. So we have E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F. So we got ii to our V--or iii minor to our V7 or vi--iii minor to vi7 and ii minor to V7. So we go iii-vi, ii-V. Again, we're just going for the same scale. So if I start here right 1-2-3, so I got 3-4-5-6, so 3-6-2-5 and now I just have to put a note in between to get to those each one of those. So I can use a note in the scale iii-vi, ii-V, iii-vi, ii-V, iii-vi, ii-V, I or you can use what's called half stepping or chromatic approach where I just used, because I only have to fill up one beat, I can just use a chromatic note going into it. So I got 3-into-6-into, 2-into-5-into, 3-into-6-into, 2-into-5. So that example I was using two notes into it, ba-da-bum-pa-pom, pom [CONTINUES PLAYING PATTERN]. So now if we start right here on measure nine, we got ii for a measure and V for a measure right? So we got ii, V, iii-vi, ii-V and that brings you right at the top [PLAYS BASS LINE]. And those are our last two measures of our bebop blues.
