[Bars 89 -94] Brian keeps to the 7th position using the B minor pentatonic scale with an added major 3rd (D#) to confirm he’s playing over a Mixolydian chord progressio­n (B5-E5-A5). [Bars 95-98] Here’s a return to syncopated chords that resolve to D then to F#. Watch your timing here: you may like to use alternate picking with ghost strums for timing accuracy or only down strokes for tonal consistenc­y.
