"Okay now we're at the point where we're combining two concepts. I'm going to do the "1", "4", "5" pattern that we've been doing. So the cords will stay the same, it's going to be "g", "c" and "d", but I'm going to combine our dominant, our diminished concept and our augmented concept. And so the idea is when I go up, I'm going from "g", I'm going to go "g" augmented, and then I'm going to resolve to "c". Okay, so here's that "g", here's that "c", and here's the "d", basic cords that we're using, okay. But I'm going to use an augmented to pass to give myself some tension which resolves to "c". When I get to that "c" cord, I'm going to use "c" dominant by lowering the root a whole step to get back to my "g", okay. I'm going to move to "d", "d" dominant and resolve into "g" major. So, what that sounds like without me talking."
