Yeah, I only do eighth notes and sixteenth notes, not fifteenth notes, thanks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuplet#Nested_tuplets not that I would have a chance in hell of playing that accurately.

This should actually be easy for anyone who practices scales in thirds.

But "thirds" occur every other note in the scale, since intervals are 1-based rather than 0-based. "Every third note" would more closely match the progression of a circle of fourths than a regular triad.

Even easier then!

Major or minor third?

If it's a major scale, you're not supposed to play minor third. Besides "every third note" will eventually be every note because there are 7 notes in a major scale. So, by the second octave major second will be one of the "fizz" notes (similar to ninth chord, stacked 4 thirds, having a major second).

This can be a legit exam BTW, some contemporary Western classical styles use these kind of patterns to make music.

E->G is a minor third.

Is this really relevant? I'm not understanding why it would be. I was referring to Eb (minor third of C) and E (major third of C).

Huh? He’s not talking about creative choices, dude. The third note of a major scale is objectively the major third.

The third note of a major a scale is also the sixth.
