Here, we're going to talk about a major third
interval. Back to the major scale, you've
got the first note of the major scale, up
a whole step to the second note, up a whole
step to the third note of a major scale. So
you've got one, two, three. Now, again, we
can put this note five frets back, the same
way that you would think about the fifth fret
on the previous string being the same as the
next open string. The sixth fret would be
the same as the first, seventh fret the same
as the second, eighth fret the same as the
third and so on. So, instead of playing this
note right here, you could bring it back five
frets and play it on the second fret of the
next string. That would allow you to play
a major third interval really close on the
neck and get that kind of sound. Now, that
shape will work all the way up the neck until
you get to the B string when, since we're
hitting the B string with the second note,
we've got to raise it up one fret to make
that interval to major third.
