First, thanks to Slipin Lizard for clarifying my comments. Well done! :)

All intervals imply a distance between 2 notes. Regarding scale intervals this means every note is measured by it's physical & auditory distance from the root note.

Major 3rd is the distance between the root note and the major 3rd.
Minor 3rd is the distance between the root note and the minor 3rd.
5th is the distance between the root note and the 5th.
And so on.

So, if we pick C to be the root note, you play the two notes C & E you are playing 2 notes that are a distance of a major third apart. You can play them separately.

Or you can play them together. You have to play them on separate strings in order to do this, of course. But it's still the same distance between the notes, which means that it creates the same sound.

WHEN I SEEN THE VIDEO THE GUY WAS BASICALLY WALKIN DOWN THE SCALE NAMEING THE NOTES STARTIN WITH THE ROOT,THEN I THINK IT WAS M3RD 5TH 7TH 9TH ECT THAT SOUNDS MJ ,I JUST DONT GET IT WHEN YOU SAID PLAY THE TWO NOTES

All those numbers are intervals that form a scale. They are the scale degrees. That is all covered in GF2 Chapter 1 after the intervals tutorial.

This tutorial covers scale degrees as intervals in depth.
