"So now we're ready to show you the process for tune analysis. And again, we have our scale, D flat, A flat, B flat, C flat, D, D flat, E flat, F, G flat. And you want to number it one through seven. G flat, A flat, B flat, C flat, D flat, E flat, F, G flat. And, now you can go through, so say, like, our first chord is a D flat. All right, that's my one, that's easy. Or, G flat, I mean. Or say it's a D flat, all right. G flat, A flat, B flat, C flat, D flat. Okay, that's a five, one, two, three, four, five. So you can go through and start analyzing any tune, and going through and picking out these chords and seeing where they fall. And say you see something, say you have like a B, right? And, A, G flat, A flat, B flat, all right. A B, well, I just get rid of the flat, so I bring it up a notch, right? Take it up a notch. So we got, one, two, three. And then bring it up a notch. You got your four right there. Sharp, er..your sharp three. So by altering the note accordingly, you can find any of the twelve different roots that are contained between this octave, D flat and G flat. And we'll go through and use this process as we analyze our tune in just a minute."
