# Lesson 16 - Pro Tip: The 9 & 7 Are Your 5 Chord

 [  Michael Palmisano @michael  ](/user/4/view)Take it to the bank. Get lost, go down the hole, but when you come back to the 5 chord, hammer the 9 (5th of the 5 chord) or the 7th (leading tone and 3rd of the 5 chord) to get back home. BOOM.

Jam Tracks:

1\. G Ma - D Ma
