Intervals
Distance from the root. In A, R = A, b3 = C, 3 = C#, 5 = E, b7 = G.
Learn each one as a shape you can find from a root note, not as a list of note names.
| Formula | In A |

| Distance from the root | R = A, b3 = C, 3 = C#, 5 = E, b7 = G |
On the guitar. Know where b3, 3, 5 and b7 sit around a root on the E and A strings.
Drill. Pick a root, point to each interval without playing a scale.
