Mapletrees,

A couple of entries back, you were building a c major triad (or chord) by finding the 3rd scale degree (note) "E" and then you talked about finding the third from "E" in the C major scale (G).....I've been doing some reading on the dotty subject of music theory, and I'm sure that other folks talk about the triad and it's formation from the root to the third and the fifth (all derived from the root of "C")....so, my question is ...what you pointing us towards////.....the interval between c and e being a third, and the interval between e and g being a third?????? the vibrancy of thirds???? But, the inquiring mind wants to know "whatta bout steps???? In the harmonic scale, the c to e distance is 4 "1/2" steps, while the e to g distance is 3 "1/2" steps....what if anything does that mean????

Check out the pictures of the TBSM on the gallery (koa series, second from the top).
