Hi David:

i have been researching for other backing tracks on Utube. I came across a lot like Aminor or Bflat minor. i am on LOA 5 and we have only dealt with the major scales. Do you instruct on the minor scales in music theory later on in the LOA lessons 6-10?

thanks

 

Jim

Hello Jim. You're at the

Hello Jim. You're at the level that you can look into minor now. It's not included in the LOA lessons, but if you are playing in the blues scale (like "My Blues"), then you are minor-safe. In other words, if you stick to the blues scale, you won't hit any notes that sound bad in minor. The blues scale is covered in LOA, but if you're interested in learning how to play in minor well, you'll want to study this lesson https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/minor_playing
