One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, one and then you get your blue scale which comes out of there, so we're just going to play this. One, three, five to one, four, six and your blue scale is top of the group of three or two black notes. You have this E and F in there and this A flat and that is your blue scale and we're just going to play our one chord and improvise with our blue scale. (playing piano) That is your first chord in B flat.
