"Now we're on measure nine and ten of our blues. We start right here, you see we have the E7 which is our five chord right? A, B, C, D, E, five then we go down to our four and then we end on our one chord. This is very typical of the last section of blues, you have a five, four one. If you look at our melody we have A, so there?s our one! So we have six, one, two, six, one, two, six, one, two and notice these are triplets again but now their A triplets so we have one, two, three, one , two, three, one, two, three, one and. We have our regular eighth notes here, two to a beat. We have six, one, two, six, one, two, six, one, two, six down to five, then you have five, six, two, five, six, two, five, six, two and then you have five, then you go to our original melody sharp four to five. You have this nice little final idea which goes right back into our main motif again. We're going to play that now, we start right here on the five on our left hand and we play six, one, two. Again six down to a five and those are your last four bars of the A section of accordion love of blues."
