Measures 17 & 18 of a Bossa Nova Guitar Song in D Major

RYAN LARSON: So, we went over measures thirteen and fourteen, and now, we're at our last two measures, and we have our sharp I major, D major, and then our ii minor, to our 5-7. Very, very easy, nice, simple, and it turns around right to the beginning of the tune. So, we have, here's our one, so there's our sharp II major, to ii minor, 5-7, and then we go to the top of the tune. So again, we have--to the last four bars we have flat three, flat six, to sharp one, 2,5, and then in the top of the two. And we're going to go through the whole piece in just a minute, shout out the chords as we go, so you can see how we analyze a tune, and play through it, in just those nice, simple, and easy chords.
