So now we're on the last couple of chords here. So we come down here on measure 13 and we have C-minor for two measures. So B-C, and it's not a C-sharp again so we have our flat-two minor chord, right? C-sharp minor would be our normal two chord. But we have a flat-two, then we have G. But remember G-sharp's out of our major scale, right? B, C, D, E, F-sharp, G-sharp, so we have our six-minor chord. Flat-six. And then our last chord is our F7, which is our 5-7 chord right in the major scale. So finally we can use that major scale in the root position that we showed you. And now we're going to go through and utilize all the different ways we can utilize that scale pattern. But we're going to look at these first. So we have our, if that's our one, here's our two. So here's our flat-two, and our five is right here, right? So this is our flat-five. Right on, we got two, to flat-six, to five, and you can hear how that wants to lead back to one. We got flat-two, flat-six, five, one. So those are the last three chords, now we're going to go through, now that we have all these roots down, and start utilizing our scale so we can start whacking through these different chord changes.
