"Again, I just want to take a second to point out that you must list all these scales as one through seven starting at the root E flat. So we'll go through all of them right now. We have E flat one, two, three, four, five, four, three, two, one, seven, six, five, four, three, two, and two is here, two, three, four, five, six, seven, one. Then you have A flat one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, one, two, one, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, seven, six. Then you have B flat minor one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, one, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Again B flat minor has a flat third and a flat seven and E flat seven has a flat seven and a major third. So by going through and getting all these different intervals you could write up three charts just out of this one scale and you get all these different intervals. Again these intervals appear again and again and again on the bass and if you go through and do another key on the upright you'll see the exact same intervals over and over. So go through and get them down."
