Hearing Modes & Positions via the Major Scale - Part 3 (C Dorian, 3rd 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 B-flat harmonica and play the same scale, but starting from 4 and ending on 8. You're now playing in 3rd Position, specifically the C Dorian Scale. Note that all of the pitches are the same, except for the 3rd and 7th notes of the scale... they're lower, or bluesy sounding. This is the natural sound of 3rd Position.
