P Al, there’s still a misprint in §4, I’m afraid: ‘two up to the fourth’, should read ‘_one_ up to the fourth.’ P

"Third" being mentioned twice is a misprint. The distances really are: 2,2,1,2,2,2,1. For "You start ... then another two to the third, up one to the third note, up two to the fourth, up two to the fifth, up two to the sixth...”, you need to read "You start ... then another two to the third, up one to the _fourth_ note, up two to the _fifth_, up two to the sixth...". If you're still not sure, remember that there are 12 notes in an octave and 2+2+1+2+2+2+1=12. @LDV – spotted. “Third” being mentioned twice is a misprint.

The distances are: 2,2,1,2,2,2,1." Is there a mistake here? "Third" is mentioned twice ("another two to the third, up one to the third note"), and according to the written instructions, the distances are actually 2,2,1,2,2,2,2,1 (one extra 2). Or am I missing something? “You start on the first note of the scale (the root) and move up two frets to the second note, then another two to the third, up one to the third note, up two to the fourth, up two to the fifth, up two to the sixth, up two to the seventh and finally up one to the octave.
