Interval Question Options

[Phil66]

Hello folks,

Can you tell me what the interval is in the first one please, I find it sounds very very sad if played slowly, either individual notes or letting the first note ring. Is the interval the same in the second TAB? I can't get my head around it as it's the same notes but one going down to A and one going up to A. The second one I still find sad but not as sad as the first, kind of like having a glimmer of hope but the sadness is still there. I hope this makes sense.

Thank you.

Thanks Adam, I appreciate your help,

I assume that's for going up in pitch from the root? Say for when you're building chords?

Cheers

After the octave (8) everything repeats. If you subtract 7 from the interval, you get the regular interval. So a 10 becomes a third, 11 becomes a fourth, etc. Also, please remember it's all different between G string and B string - you need to go up 1 more fret than you'd normally go on strings E, A, D, G.

As for the chords, I'll explain using open G Major. As you can see, it's quite the same, as you play the Root higher by an octave, so in relation to the lowest Root it's higher than an octave, but for the next (higher in pitch) Root it's within an octave. Whichever version of G Major you play, you hit the basic notes it's made of. I'm not sure how to explain this more, so I hope someone can help me.
