→Intervals
Inside any particular major scale, every note has a different set of intervals for all the other notes in the same key. In C Major, C and A both have major 2nd, perfect 4th, perfect 5th intervals but have different 3rd, 6th, and 7ths. Let's hear some of the different intervals:
fig. 32
e-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--
b-5--6--7--8--9--10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-
u m2 M2 m3 M3 P4 T P5 m6 M6 m7 M7 o
Figure 6 2 starts on E on both the 1st and 2nd strings. The 2nd string moves up on one fret each time: F, F#, G, G#, A, etc. This allows us to hear all the intervals named in figure 3 the tables above; however, unlike figure 3 we are hearing them all against the common note of E, not C. That we are using E instead of C is immaterial. The intervals '''Intervals have their own unique sound, and a major 3rd between E and G# will sound the same compared to a major 3rd between C and E. Only the pitches are different; the relative distance and harmonic interaction between each pair of notes is the same.'''
The line below the tab indicates the interval. Notice how nasty the m2 and T intervals are. the M7 can also be a bit nasty, but because there's more space between the notes, it sounds less harsh.
Let's look at only the intervals listed in figures 4 tables 2 and 53:
