 Yes the same goes for F# to D and A also F to C# and G# the sixth is 
 slower than the 3rd  When you finished the scale the sixths should go 
 faster up the scale there are only 3 in the scale.  However, When you 
 tune the F# octave in the Bass F# to D# is a test I use. When I am 
 tuning down the bass on my confirmation test of the octave I follow with 
 the sixth. The sixths are easier to hear further down the base than 
 3rds. I use 4th and 5ths and minor 3rds and sixes if the bass note is 
 very false to check the octave.
