Write in the changes.
Look at the notes and see where they are in the chord. i.e. #9 b5 etc.

I think this really sounds like the bridge. Can you hear that? So master just this and do something with it!

After viewing the video, check out the attached PDF. See where you can apply this great sound to the study tune I created. Post your results by Friday morning and I will check in :)
