I just completed the exercise 3.3 of filling in the scale degrees. In your video https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/music_theory_study_1you say the 3 draw half step bend is the flat third, and the 4 draw is the 5th scale degree. in my chart i have 4 draw as the 2nd scale degree, and the 3 draw as the 7th scale degree. what am I missing? BestMiki
