OK, so we want to turn it into a minor third. Can you do that?

Now we need to get comfortable with 7ths. Can you tab out a major seventh on that 5th fret D?

A major seventh is a semitone (or fret) lower than the octave.
Do you know what an octave looks like?

Just to clarify
x 5 x 6 x x = Major Seventh
x 5 x 7 x x = Octave
Right?

I would:
Learn the notes on the fretboard, understand intervals, and study the circle of fifths. Above all I would listen to good tunes and just play.
