Hi.

In the lesson "Flying Fifths" ( https://www.guitartricks.com/lesson.php?input=20192&s_id=1590 ) , Anders starts playing in A major scale, but then he shifts to three frets higher in the fretboard to "get our minor sound". I guess he means by going three frets higher he's changing to the relative minor scale? (which for A major is F# minor). But then one of the notes he plays there is a C (5th fret of the G string), which is not part of F# scale. I am confused. Could someone clarify what is it that I'm misunderstanding? Thanks!
