'''The important thing to realize about the 2nd and 3rd strings is that they are tuned to a major 3rd, not a perfect 4th''' (G - B is a major third). This changes intervals shapes as well as how one plays scales between the strings, compared to all the other pairs of strings
== Intervals between 2nd and 3rd Strings ==
The M3 tuning between strings means the interval shapes we learned in the [[1st and 2nd Strings - Intervals|last lesson]] will be a little different. Basically, all you have to remember is that a major third is one semi-tone lower than a perfect fourth. Which means we need to move upwards one fret on the 2nd string to get the same intervals on the 2nd and 3rd strings. Let's do a quick example:
This allows you to always hold down both your middle and index fingers. You just add the ring finger for the major third.
===4ths and 5ths===

==Scales between 2nd and 3rd Strings==
Now let's look at a scale. Let's play B to G on the 1st and 2nd strings:
== C Major notes on 3rd String ==
G-0--2--4--5--7--9--10-12-
Here are the C Major notes on the G string. Play each group of 3 notes per position as we did in [[1st String|previous exercises]], up and down the string.
