This lesson will discuss an alternative perspective on western music where the chromatic scale instead of looked at as keys can be looked at as intervals. Every half note, fret would require a new distinct interval name to make this system work for enumerating 12 distinct tones before repeating back to the octive/the key the scale would be in.

All intervals would be defined as:
1, b2, 2, b3, 3, 4, b5, 5, b6, 6, b7, 7, 1

As you might notice above there are no is no flat (what the b is pronounced as) between 3 & 4 and between 7 & 1. This will be known as heuristic 2 and discussed distinctly to repeat and reinforce this in you head in a future post and video.

As will be discussed later likely in the third more conceptual section exploring more jazzy themes, but it might be discussed in the modes, like notes, sometimes we might rephrase an interval from a b to # of the lower interval so as to maintain some sort of order, perhaps having all the intervals in the scale being viewed as a distinct bumber of #2, instead of b3 then 3, so as to avoid two threes. Or other reasons for such arbtirary nomenclature so as to reduce something we discuss into names so we can effectively communicate complex things amongst others who understand some language in reference.
