3-6-2-5 Progression for Reading a Fake Book in A Major

Video Transcript

So now that we have our minor two-five down, we can play a standard jazz turnaround which is called a three-six-two-five. If you've ever seen some jazz cats on the stage, you might hear them saying this lingo and stuff, and it's just really simple. We're just talking about the scale going from the third degree to the sixth degree, the second to the fifth. So we start here and we have our C sharp half diminished, then our F sharp altered, and then B minor, E seven, so C, F sharp altered, B minor, E seven, C sharp half diminished, F sharp altered, B, and you could just loop it forever. And again if you want to do a simple walking bass line, you can outline the chords in your left hand, and just walk - just hit the first and third note of each. Or you can hit all the notes actually. So instead of playing just a block, it would sound way - see how money that sounds, it doesn't sound like anything. So you do a walking bass line and split them up individually, and it sounds gorgeous. And we're going to utilize this three-six-two-five turnaround in our bebop blues in just a minute.
