So, now we are going to look at measures five through eight. We start right here, we have G major and if we go D flat, E flat, F, G flat, right so that's a four, but it's a sharp four cause it's another D flat. So we have our sharp four major. Notice I use uppercase roman numerals now. Sharp four major, then we have A flat, so D, E, F, G, A, that's our five minor and then D flat, so one chord again, but now it's a one seven. We'll show you how to handle these different chords when we get there. Notice we've already played our one minor and our one seventh chord, but all these chords can be found utilizing that same major scale pattern. So now we're going to go through and find these notes on the bass, right. So now we've got one, two, three, four. So our sharp four is right here. Right. The fifth fret, second string, so sharp four, to five right above it. One. So again we have sharp four to five, One and you hear how that wants to go to four which starts us off in our next measure, which we'll go over in just a minute.
