If you take the first note and the fifth note, those notes form a fifth, and so on. Those intervals can then be major, minor, perfect, diminished, or augmented, which can get a little more complicated, but the basic idea of the numbers is that you just count how many notes apart they are in the scale.



I'm happy to go more in-depth on this if you guys have more questions. And we'll toss around the idea of breaking intervals down in a future BackTrack Spotlight, when we have a song that's a good fit for it.
