Now a D Sharp which is the difference between Major. Seventh fret, fourth fret, sixth fret, seventh fret. That's the first octave, the next octave. So it's going to be fifth fret, seventh fret, fourth fret, sixth fret, seventh fret. Fourth, sixth, seventh. Fourth, sixth, fourth, fifth, seventh, fourth and here.
