→All Intervals
We start on E on both the 1st and 2nd strings. The 2nd string moves up one fret each time: F, F{{s}}, G, G{{s}}, A, etc. This allows us to hear all the intervals named in the tables above; however, we are hearing them all against the root note of E, not C.
That we are using E instead of C is immaterial. ''Remember: Intervals have their own unique sound, and a . A major 3rd between E and G{{s}} will sound the same compared to a major 3rd between C and E. Only the The pitches themselves are different, but the ratio between them is the same; the relative distance and harmonic interaction between each pair of notes is the same.''
For now you should be mainly concerned with the sound and names of the intervals, not the pairs of notes involved in the example. The line below the tab indicates the interval. Notice how nasty the m2 and tt intervals are. the M7 can also be a bit nasty, but because there's more space between the notes, it sounds less harsh.
