[MUSIC]
Now

we're gonna talk about the 3-6-2-5 chord
progression.

So in the Key of A, the three would be-

[MUSIC]
C-Sharp and we'll, we'll do three minor.

[MUSIC]
Six will be the F-Sharp and

we'll do the F-Sharp minor as well.

[MUSIC]
Two will be the B,

B minor and [SOUND] E will be the E7.

So when you hear 3-6-2-5, they sometimes
call them,

refer to those changes as ice cream
changes.

And they go around and again, this is a
pattern that goes around in a cycle and

you don't really get out of it.

You kinda just stay there until you come
up with an ending.

But it sounds like.

[MUSIC]
And

again it's gonna be in fourths on the
bass.

[MUSIC]
So if we kept it going it could go.

[MUSIC]
So

that's the 3-6-2-5 progression and you can
get that in your ear.

I'll demonstrate it sounds something like
this.

[MUSIC]

3-6-2-5.

[MUSIC]
3-6-2-5.

[MUSIC]
So we know we're in the key of A, and

it sounds like we're gonna end on A but

that's kind of a way to just keep it going
around, that a lot of times they vamp on

3-6-2-5s and then somebody will solo, or
the singer will make up some lines there.

That's the 3-6-2-5.

If I were gonna do a little more advanced
bass line for that,

it would sound like this.

A little more walking.

[MUSIC]

And again, if I were gonna outline

the chords and deal a little more of a
soloistic

approach to that, it would sound like
this.

[MUSIC]

So that's just outlining the changes using
arpeggios.

[MUSIC]
So now,

it's your turn to play through those
changes and

send me a video that I can check out, and
I'll get back to you on how it sounds.
