Play any note on the mandolin, then play a note one fret above it. The distance between these two notes is a half step. Play another note followed by a note two frets above it. The distance between these two notes is a whole step (two half steps). The distance between any two notes is referred to as an interval.
A scale is a series notes in a specific arrangement of whole and half steps. In the example of the C Major scale below, the letter names are shown above the notes and the scale degrees (numbers) of the notes are written below. Notice that C is the first degree of the scale, D is the second, etc.
The name of an interval is determined by counting the number of scale degrees from one note to the next. For example, an interval of a 3rd, starting on C, would be determined by counting up three scale degrees, or C–D–E (1–2–3). C to E is a 3rd. An interval of a 4th, starting on C, would be determined by counting up four scale degrees, or C–D–E–F (1–2–3–4). C to F is a 4th.
Intervals are not only labeled by the distance between scale degrees but by the quality of the interval. An interval’s quality is determined by counting the number of whole steps and half steps between the two notes of an interval. For example, C to E is a 3rd. C to E is also a major 3rd (M3) because there are two whole steps between C and E. Likewise, C to E b is a 3rd. C to E b is also a minor 3rd (m3) because there are one-and-one-half steps between C and E b. There are five qualities used to describe intervals: major, minor, perfect, diminished, and augmented.
Particular intervals are associated with certain qualities:

READING CHORDS
11
Mandolin chord frames are diagrams that contain all the information necessary to play a particular chord. The fingerings, note names, and position of the chord on the neck are all provided in the chord frame (see below). The photo at the left shows each fretting-hand finger and its corrresponding finger number.
The number of the fret on
which the fingersare positioned
Horizontallines representthe frets
Verticallines
representthe strings

Choosing Chord PositionsWhen playing, choose chord positions that require the least amount of motion from one chord to the next; select fingerings that are in approximately the same location on the mandolin neck. This will provide smoother and more comfortable transitions between chords in a progression.
