"RYAN LARSON: Now, we're going to do some tab and look at it as tabs. So if you're going through on the Internet, you're going to see this all over the place. So we're going to start here and you'll see we have our four strings so you can really go through and look at the tab. So here is your top string going down to the--your lowest string here. Remember we started on our 2nd fret on our lowest string, so you have--here we have our 2nd fret, 4th fret, 1st fret, 2nd, 4th, 1st, 3rd, 4th. And then we have 1, 3, 4 above it as well. So we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Those are our scale intervals. So our 7's--or our 1's is right here. So we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3, 4. So again these are the fret--actual fret markings. Now, I'm just going through the same scale degrees as we count it off 1, 2, 3, 4, 1--or 5, 6, 7, 1. So go through and get that scale under your fingers and you really want to memorize it and get those different intervals down: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1 in G flat major."
