David's Tip of the Day: Hearing Modes & Positions via the Major Scale - Part 5 (All Modes)

David Barrett Admin's picture

Now line up your harmonicas and play the scales one after another. In this way you'll really hear what each position sounds like relative to each other in their natural state (before we add bending and such to make the licks associated with each position).

1st = C Harmonica, 4+ to 10+
2nd = Low-F Harmonica, 6+ to 9+
3rd = B-flat Harmonica, 4 to 8
4th = E-flat Harmonica, 3" to 6
