Hi everyone. I’m a newbie, about 9 months into this mandolin journey. I have a question about the “fourths” exercise in the 3rd FFcP “Ionian Mandology” set from Getting Into Jazz Mandolin.
I scribbled a red line between the note and tab position in question. This exercise is in the key of C. I understand that in a C scale, the 4th note counting from F is a B. But this interval doesn’t “sound” like my understanding of how a 4th interval sounds (e.g., like the first two notes in “HERE COMES the bride”). To me, the properly sounding 4th interval would be F to Bb. Of course, Bb isn’t in the C scale (but is in the F scale). So, how does this work? Is a 4th from F in the Key of F a Bb, but a 4th from F in the key of C a B natural?
