So now we can go over our last six measures. And we just have our sharp one minor, for two bars, right, so sharp one. So we just use the same minor scale starting on the sharp one. And then we use the sharp five, that's our sharp five, same minor scale, but now we're going to start on the sharp five. And then we go to our five-seven scales, which comes right out of our first major scale we learned, but just start it on the fifth degree. So we're going to walk through those right now. So here's our bass. One, two, three, four. We start on a sharp one and we utilize this minor scale pattern. That's our C sharp minor scale. And now we're going to move it up a fret, or up two frets and up a string for our G sharp or our sharp five minor. And then we go to our five which leads back into our one. We can also play these off the lower note, so if we start on C sharp again, and then go down to our sharp five here, that flows a lot easier out of the hands than our five major which comes out of the same major scale. Then we land back on the one.
