memorizing scales using the interval number makes it less daunting; especially if you start look at other modes. like Dorian, Ionian etc.
Can you expand on this comment, please? I am just starting to learn modes but not sure how you are relating the "interval number." Thanks.

This was very useful and I'm always ready for something new.
thanks
interval numbers. Ive just learned this so bear with me.
in a scale we have the letters.
in the case of an E scale:
E F G A B C D E
using the interval number it reads:
starting with E F is one fret up. thus 1 interval. G is two frets up from F thus 2 intervals.
etc.
so it looks like this 122212 B to C is one interval.
the numbers change when the root note does. or when there is a minor scale where sharps and flats come in.
I dont have the mode scale chart handy. but if you look at one you will see the interval changes in some of the notes of the scale.
so If a D scale in Dorian has a sharp an interval number could possibly show two 1's next to another....that's only an example fo the sake of this post. it may nt be accurate in defining D Dorian. I'd have to spend some time looking that up....
I use the computer at work and that's what I better do now.
hope this helps.
email me and I might be able to expound.
Im just learning tho.
