"RYAN LARSON: So now, we did our two measures sliding down, and we're going to play them sliding down into our v minor and then it becomes a 5-7. So, here's an example, where we stay on the same root and you switch the chord. So, it's a good thing to end on. So, we got our six minor, flat 6, and v minor. So, again vi minor, flat 6, v minor, 5-7--when you hear that you want to go back to 1. So, we got 6 down to 5, 5-7, 1, and you're at the top of the tune. So, it's a nice, simple run through. Again, make sure you write all these chords down at home, or if you want to go through and analyze your own tunes, just write down that major scale and the degrees, and go through it and do some analyzation."
