@Steve Woodcock It's not an interval of a second, but from one triad note to another, e.g. C to E = 1 step, C to G = 2 steps

That's not a 6/8, but a swing or shuffle feel. That's not the same thing. The pattern you hear in both songs is 1/8 rest followed by 7 8th notes, in swing feel

It's not about intervals, but the notes from a triad. He makes a sequence with the notes from a particular triad, C in the examples. The brackets in the examples show the sequences. Let's number the notes in the triad C = 1 E = 2 G = 3 C = 4 Ex1 G C - E G - C E here it's a 2-note sequence. You take one note of the triad en play the next note of the triad after that. Then you start on a different note of the triad followed by the next note, etc 3 4 - 2 3 - 1 2 G, 1 step up => C E, 1 step up => G C, 1 step up => E Ex2 A 4-note pattern G E C G - E C G E 3 2 4 3 - 2 1 3 2 G, 1step down => E, 2 steps up => C, 1 step down => G E, 1step down => C, 2 steps up => G, 1 step down => E Ex3 Again a 4-note pattern E C G E - C G E C 2 4 3 2 - 1 3 2 1 E, 2 steps up => C, 1 step down => G, 1 step down => E C, 2 steps up => G, 1 step down => E, 1 step down => C Hope this helps

Also, it's not necessary to become the best (sight)reader ever. Being able to figure out what's written, seeing the notes and the rhythm, is often enough to learn a song.
