RYAN LARSON: So now we're going to take a look at our bebop blues. And we're--it's a
great tune to go through because there's a lot of chord changes in there that come out
of the scale. And we start right here on our G flat 7. And it's a 1-7, so we're not playing
a major chord this time. And I'll explain that to you when we actually go through it.
So we have a 1 chord, and this is a B7, so there's our 4 chord. And then B7 and C flat
are harmonically the same note. So this is actually a C flat 7, but we just wrote B7
to make it a little bit more difficult for all you people there at home. And we went
back to our 1 chord, our G flat 7. Then we have our 5 minor, D flat to G flat, so 5 to
1. And then we stay on this 4 again. We walk to the 4, to this sharp 4. See, there is our
C half diminished, that's a sharp 4 'cause it's not flattened. And then we go back to
1-7. Then we have 3-6, right? B flat, E flat, then 2-5, A flat minor, D flat, to 3-6-2-5
there at the end. So it's a nice, quick run through of the entire piece. And we're going
to go through and play it measure by measure. And then at the end, I'm going to play through
the whole thing and count out the actual notes of the scale as I play through it.
