"Alright, so we've done our nice bebop licks going into the last A section. So we'll play it nice and slow. So it starts off with this nice sweet melody right on the fourth note, of G, or the third note of G, three, two, one, seven, two, sharp two to three. Ba bah. So, four, three, two, one, two, sharp two to three and then you've got this seven one three which leads into the next section.

And you have that nice little chromatic line leading to the beginning which we'll study in the next lesson."
