"Now we played our G minor melodic scale in one octave. But there are plenty of octaves to play so all you have to do since we landed, a last note was our A scale degree of the G natural on the D string that is. All you have to do is continue up from there so our eighth scale degree starts off by really being our first scale degree, our G natural. It switches as soon as we do another octave so let's try it. Here is where we landed our eighth scale degree and our one octave. If we go up another octave here it is (playing violin), A natural but now it's a fourth finger, B flat half steps remember, C natural, D natural our fifth scale degree, our sixth E natural, F sharp our seventh and half steps between seven and eight are G naturals. That is another octave you can play now if I was to go up another octave I would just continue on from there."
