And this is what would be called "the bridge" and you notice how now we're going to a minor, a more minor-centered sound. And we hold on this E flat minor for two measures and then we have this A flat minor for two measures. And then we have A flat minor, D flat 7, G flat major for the rest of the tune, which kind of goes back to the beginning. So, we're going to do that right now.

And those are your next set of measures out of our first tune.
