"RYAN LARSON: So now that we have our first two chords down. We can go through and take on our next two measures. And you notice after our first four measures, we have a repeat sign. That's what these two bars and the two dots mean. So we're going to repeat back to the beginning. And our next two chords are 2, which is a minor chord, and our sharp 1, which is a seventh chord. So we're going to go find those first. So if this is our 1, there's our 2, right? So we have 2 minor to sharp 1, which is a seventh chord. So this is the same two chords we used before, except now, it's on the 2 and the sharp 1. So as we play the first four bars, this is a nice minor 7 flick. So we just want a 3, flat 3, 2, flat 2, and then we'll repeat it. And those are your first measures of our nice, simple, easy Bossa nova tune"
