So now we are on measures seven and eight, and we are going to go on to nine and ten as well. We are just going to go seven and eight right now, so we have our five minor chord to our one-seven chord. So what we are going to do is utilize our five minor chord off our fifth and the beautiful thing about that is our one-seven chord is derived out of that same scale. So we can just switch the root to D flat and mark in the same scale and it will still sound good. So if we have our five, let's find that first, one, seven, six, five, so here is our minor scale. So we are going to go five and then we have to land on one and if we keep going up, we have to get our seven scale. It is the same as our D major scale in all reality, except you have taken the seven and lowered it down a front. So it is all, four six eight, four six eight four six. So now we are going to walk those two measures. We have five minor, one-seven, five, one-seven, five, one-seven, five, one-seven. So by utilizing that one scale our minor scale, starting on our fourth front lowest string we can move through and play our five minor and our one-seven chords just by utilizing that one scale.
