So what I have done is I have written some longer 2-5-1s as I said, "One chord per bar." Same key as before, we are going to be going into, B 5 Major 7. So, I am going to alter the same way. I am going to go ahead and do just a regular dominate seventh. I will do a #11 and I will also do the #9. Alteration, then we will move in and do some Minor 2-5-1s, but let's take a look and see what some of this might mean.
Here's one. I am going to go ahead and use this lick. So what we are going to do usually is we are going to get eight notes per bar. For example, I will just make one up, one, a two, a three, a four, a new chord, one, two. It would be like, one, a two, a three, a four, a one, a two, a three, a four, a one. That's pretty slow as far as the tempo goes, but it would be spread up a little bit maybe. Maybe it might be something like this: three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, right.
So those are all 2-5-1s. Its one chord per bar. You may have noticed how long it was following. It was one, two, three, four, a new chord, three, four, a one, two, three, four. We are doing it slower because eventually you will be able to do with that speed. Let's take a look. I am going to stop talking and you are going to start playing. These are the first four notes here. We have got G, F, F#, E. That's where we want to end up. So that's a way to get there. That's just to be rough idea.
Let's use a triplet. So you have got G, F, F#, E, F, E, E Flat. Again, the first four notes, you have got G, F, F#, E. These are the first two beats, one, a two. I am using the three, one, three, one, one, a two. I am going to go up to my fourth finger here because I am going to need that. So, one, a two, a three and a four, one, to about G, F, F#, E, F, E, E Flat, D, F. As the chord change, I am going to arpeggiate it and then remember that? That's a short 2-5-1, here it is: one, a two, a three, a four, a one, a two, a three, a four, a one.
See how I am holding it. This is the longer 2-5-1: one, a two, a three, a four, a one, two, three, four, a one, a two, a three, a four, an E Flat, G, B Flat D and then A, C, E Flat, G. To recognize where this comes from, we have done it, right. Let's try it up to tempo: two, a three, a four, a one, a two, a three and a four, a one, a two, a three, a four, a one. Let's try it one more time: one, two, a three, a four, a one, a two, a three, a four, a one, a two, a three, a four, a one.
Again, if this were a little faster... One more time: three, a four, a one, a two, a three, a four, a one, a two, a three, a four, a one.
