Measures 5 & 6 of a Bossa Nova Guitar Song in E Major

Video Transcript

"RYAN LARSON: So now we're on our next set of four and we have E major again for two measures, nice, simple E major. And again, that's on the D string, the root. And we go to our iii minor. 3 was also on the D string. And then our 6 or a sharp 6, right? C sharp, no, that's just our 6. I don't know why that sharp was written in there. So that's our 6th chord. So we have i to iii minor to 6 which is the 7th chord. So, again, we have our scale 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. So, we're going to use our 6th chord up here and this is our 7th voicing for the D string, right? So we have 1, then 3, then 6. So we have I major to iii minor to 6-7 and you hear that once and go to the ii minor which is our next chord. But again, we're just going to go over that one more time, E major to 3, 6 and we also have our 6 down here on the 9th fret on the low strings, so we can play a 7th chord there as well which is this. So we can play I major, to iii minor, 6. And that's a nice easy chord to get as compared to this high string 7th, but I like the sound of this tune. So it's a nice--so those are your next three chords as we go through and move through the rest of our piece."
