"RYAN LARSON: So now we're going over our next two measures. Again, make sure you're writing all these measures down at home so you can reference back to them and play through the tune. But, again, this is just a basic run through so you can do this through any tune, but we have our ii minor and then we have our vi minor to our 3-7. So we're going to go find that on the fret board. So here's our 1, right? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, so we got 1, 2, so there's our ii minor, right? And we apply our minor chord voice in there on the second string. Then we have to go know in the 7, so 1, 7. This is 7 right here. So we got vii minor to our 3 which is right here, right? 7, 3. One, 2, 3 and 1, 7, 6, 5. So we got 7 to 3. vii minor to 3-7. So again, we have our---this nice, simple ii minor, 6, or 7 to 3 and that leads into 6. So those are our next two bars out of our tune and we went to our ii minor to our vi minor to our 3-7."
