"RYAN LARSON: So now, we're on measures fourteen to fifteen, and we have our iii minor to our 6-7, and then our ii minor to our 5-7. And that's a very standard jazz turn around called the 3-6-2-5, we go from the third to the sixth, and 2 to the 5, and you see how that looks-it has a nice pattern to it on the actual fret board, so when we look at the fret board, we have 1-2-3-4-5-6, we're going 3-6-2-5. You can also go down, you could go 3-6-2-5, right, 'cause these notes are both the same. So, we got 3-6-2-5, so we can go 3-6-2-5, or we can go 3-6-2-5, so either way you want to get those voicings under your fingers. Or you can go...those are your next two chords, your 3-6-2-5 in the key of E."
