"So now we're going to show you how to walk through our first two measures. Again, remember that just our one minor chord, and it started right here on the B flat. But we learned our B flat major scale. So you might say hey Ryan, we learned our major scale, how are we supposed to play a B flat minor? Well remember we also learned our minor scale here on C, which is the same pattern, right? So what you are going to do is take this pattern and slide it down to B flat. So now you have your B flat minor scale which we can walk for two measures. And we still have that major, the same pattern, right? Skip a fret, skip a fret, and then we have the closed frets here on the top. So that's your B flat minor scale. We just used our minor scale that came out of our B flat major scale, and slide it down to B flat. So by utilizing this pattern and moving it around, we not only memorized the pattern, but we're able to walk every chord that could ever come our way."
