"I'm going to show you another variation of using A Major seven, D seven, and the harmonized chord, and giving you a slight variation of how to play the harmonized chord lick, and coming back to D seven. So, I'd like to show you now, with the A Major seven, with the same rhythm. That's basically what you're going to be playing there, and it's just going da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, as your rhythm, and basically what we're going to do here is go. And then what I'm doing here is what they call a walk-down, or playing chromatically, meaning this note is the chromatic part, meaning I'm not playing, staying true to the scale, I'm actually throwing in some accidentals right here. And that's just simply going from the G and the high E string, playing on the seventh fret, six, then coming back to the fifth, to come back to D seven, and then back to A Major seven. So up to speed, this goes. And that adds a nice little walk down lick to add to your progression. "
