"Now we're going to introduce G sharp minor which is our melodic, or our relative minor to B major and it's still derived out of F sharp major scale because it's the second degree of a major scale. But, using our same B major scale, since it's relative to B major we can still use the same scale and outline the same black chord. So, if we start here, on G sharp, which is our sixth degree, right. One, seven, six. So now we have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. So, we have one, three, five, seven and that's your G sharp minor chord. So now that we have our minor chord down, our G sharp minor chord, we can play one major to our six minor to our two minor to our five, seven. And that's a one, six, two, five turnaround. One, six, two, two, and back to our one chord. So that's a quick review of our first four chords and we're going to utilize these in our next tune which we will go over in just a minute."
