3-6-2-5 Progression for Piano Scales in B for Beginners

So now that we have our minor two fives down, we can play what's called a three-six-two-five progression, you might have heard jazz caz reference to this some time or another, but what we're saying, is we start on B major, right, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. We start on three, our D sharp half diminished, and our six is our G sharp altered, then our two minor five seven. So, we have three, six, two, five. So, D sharp half diminished, G sharp altered, C sharp minor half seven. And you do some walk in bass here down here. So again, we're going three, half diminished to six altered to two minor, to five seven. A nice simple progression and we'll see it a lot as we go through and we play through our bee bop blues, which we'll do in just a minute.
