Pythagorean interval

Okay kiddo, let me explain Pythagorean interval to you in a way that you can understand.

Imagine you have a guitar with six strings. When you pluck the strings, they make a sound that we hear as music. But did you know that each string makes a different sound when you pluck it? That's because each string has a different thickness, length, and tension.

Now, let's say you want to play a harmonious melody with those strings. You need to make sure that the notes you play sound good together. And that's where the Pythagorean interval comes in.

The Pythagorean interval is a musical concept that helps you figure out which notes sound good together. It is based on the idea that the frequency of a note is related to its length.

To understand this, let's say you pluck the first string of your guitar. The sound it produces is called a note. If you want to play another note that sounds good with that one, you need to choose a string that has a length that is related to the first string.

The Pythagorean interval says that if you double the length of a string, it will produce a note that is one octave higher. And if you divide the length of a string by two, it will produce a note that is one octave lower.

For example, if you pluck the first string and then pluck the fourth string, which is double the length of the first string, the notes will sound good together because they are related by the Pythagorean interval.

So, the next time you want to play a melody on your guitar, remember the Pythagorean interval and choose notes that are related by doubling or dividing their lengths. That way, your melody will sound harmonious and beautiful!
