Major Scale & Folk Songs - Part 7
Thu, 05/10/2012 - 07:08
I hope this focus on the major scale has helped to open up the entire range of the harmonica for you. I recommend you take a folk song, or a blues song that doesn't use a lot of bending, and move from octave to octave to practice this. The more you do this in the practice room the higher the probability octave substitution will happen spontaneously in your improvising.
Major Scale
Low Octave: 1+ 1 2+ 2" 2 3" 3 4+
Mid Octave: 4+ 4 5+ 5 6+ 6 7 7+
High Octave: 7+ 8 8+ 9 9+ 10 10' 10+
