Tab adjustment

This tab is a follow up to my intervals tab.
I noticed after looking it over,
I didn't really show any way of applying intervals.

As i mentioned in the first intervals tab,
most scales are made up of some kind of: 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7

the major scale has: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7

Here's the C major scale:

|C D E F |G A B C |C B A G |F E D C |
|1 2 3 4 |5 6 7 1 |1 7 6 5 |4 3 2 1 |
G|----------------|----2---4---5---|5---4---2-------|----------------|
D|--------2---3---|5---------------|------------5---|3---2-----------|
A|3---5-----------|----------------|----------------|--------5---3---|
E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
|1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |

In the example above we used C as our root.
However,
any of the twelve cromatic notes can be a root for a new major scale.

Here's the G major scale:

|G A B C |D E F# G |G F# E D |C B A G |
|1 2 3 4 |5 6 7 1 |1 7 6 5 |4 3 2 1 |
G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
D|----------------|----2---4---5---|5---4---2-------|----------------|
A|--------2---3---|5---------------|------------5---|3---2-----------|
E|3---5-----------|----------------|----------------|--------5---3---|
|1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |

Notice how even though the notes have changed...the intervals are the same.
that's cuz no matter what major scale it is...the intervals are the same.
That means that not one major scale has all of the same notes.

The major scale is the only scale that has the intervals:1,2,3,4,5,6,7
most other scales are some kind of altered version of this scale.

for example)

the lydian scale is pretty much the same thing...with one exception!

it has a sharp 4 (#4) instead of a perfect 4th (4)

Here's the C lydian scale:

|C D E F# |G A B C |C B A G |F# E D C |
|1 2 3 #4 |5 6 7 1 |1 7 6 5 |#4 3 2 1 |
G|----------------|----2---4---5---|5---4---2-------|----------------|
D|--------2---4---|5---------------|------------5---|4---2-----------|
A|3---5-----------|----------------|----------------|--------5---3---|
E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
|1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |

If you take a look at the C lydian scale and the G major scale,
you'll notice that they have the same notes. (not the same intervals)
that's cuz the C lydian scale is a mode of the G major scale.

If you don't know what a mode is,
it's play any major scale but starting on a different note in the scale.
In this case, we started on C which is the 4th note of the G major scale.
this makes the lydian scale the 4th mode of any major scale.

keep in mind that modes have different intervals than their parent scales.
this is because they need to have the same notes.
if the intervals of both scales were the same,
then they wouldn't be modes of each other cuz they wouldn't have the same notes.
make sense?

As i stated in the first intervals tab,
just because the interval name has a sharp (#) or flat (b),
does not mean that the note name has a sharp or flat.

here's what i'm trying to say:

Db lydian scale:

|Db Eb F G |Ab Bb C Db |Db C Bb Ab |G F Eb Db |
|1 2 3 #4 |5 6 7 1 |1 7 6 5 |#4 3 2 1 |
G|----------------|----3---5---6---|6---5---3-------|----------------|
D|--------3---4---|6---------------|------------6---|4---3-----------|
A|4---6-----------|----------------|----------------|--------6---4---|
E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
|1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |

notice that although there is a sharp 4 (#4) the G is not a G#.
here's why:

a perfect 4th (4) is 5 half steps (frets) away from the root.
Gb is 5 half steps away from Db and is the perfect 4th of Db

a sharp 4 (#4) is 6 half steps (frets) away from the root.
G is 6 half steps away from Db and is the sharp 4th of Db

again just because an interval has a sharp of flat,
does not mean that note will have a sharp or flat.

I hope this has been helpful.
Message me for any questions.
Thanks,
