Hearing Modes & Positions via the Major Scale - Part 2 (C Mixolydian, 2nd Position)

Grab your C Harmonica again and play the C Major Scale from 4+ (C) to 7+ (C). This is the home scale for 1st Position. Now grab your Low-F harmonica and play the same scale, but starting from 6+ and ending on 9+. If you don't have a Low-F, but do have a standard F, you can play the same pitches from 2 to 6+. You're now playing in 2nd Position, specifically the C Mixolydian Scale. Note that all of the pitches are the same as the 1st Position scale on the C Harmonica, except for the 7th note of the scale... it's lower, or bluesy sounding. This is the natural sound of 2nd Position.
