okay, back to the lesson.If you're thinking in scales, then you're talking about the degrees.
And then yes, in an E major scale, E would be 1, but G# would be 3, A would be 4.
But if we're talking about the distance between notes, the one you're on is 1, any step from there is ......well any interval.
In this case, the notes on the top string move in seconds (first measure), from G# to A, to B
the bassnotes also move in seconds, from E to F# to G#.
And again, the distance between the bassnotes and the notes on the top string are compound intervals, meaning bigger than an octave.
