Video Transcript

RYAN LARSON: So now that we have our scale down and I'm going to write this up here again so we can go on and reference it. E, F sharp, G sharp, A, B, C sharp, D sharp and we number it, 1 to 7. One, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and we can go through and find out where to play these chords as we reference it to our scale we just learned. So we have our E major, so that's our I major, I'm just going to put a "I"-roman numerals, then C major. So E, F, G, A, B, C. So that's six and it's not C sharp. So it's a flat 6. Flat 6 and the F7, so we have a flat 2, right? 'Cause it's not F sharp. Flat 2, then E major again, I major, that's easy. D sharp, that's our iii minor. C sharp 7, 6, 7. So you can see how easy it is to find where these chords are if you just go on reference them to the scale. Notice how we're flying through this. F sharp minor, ii minor. And you want to write down these chords at home or if you're going through, just write down the E major scale and analyze you tunes at home. We're going to go chord by chord, so you don't have to worry about that right now. We're showing how to analyze it. So D sharp is our 7, then G sharp is our 3, C sharp is our 6, D sharp is our 7.
