Discover Hidden Harmonica Scales That Transform Your Sound

[@christophermccarthy6889]

Hi Jonah , another excellent video, much appreciated 👍 😊

[@mattlawyer3245]

I’m familiar with modes and am comfortable in positions 1, 2, and 3. I’m aware of other positions, and I know 4 is the relative minor. I’m used to thinking of 2 as mixolydian and 3 as dorian, but it didn’t occur to me before to think of these as my “starting points” and asking what the relative major/minor would be. I’m excited to give it a try. Seems like it will be useful and make learning these new positions easier. And it also explains why positions 4, 5, and 12 are the only other positions I hear people talk about!

I jam to that Santana BT in fourth position frequently. For some reason many BT's lend themselves to 3rd and 4th position. It seems to come naturally to me for whatever reason. Good stuff, Jonah.

Still diggin' that Arkia harp, yeah? Love mine. Great video, sir!

Great video and a nice location.

Yeah the same notes are in the relative minor scale so you can play 1st position over it. Your ears will tell you if it works.

I love your stuff, but I am clueless on this one. My brain exploded - I’ve got a lot to learn before I can digest this one…

Just try the easy version of this that I mentioned. Playing first position using a backing track in the relative minor. So if you are on a C harmonica, you would play over an a minor backing track. Then just see what comes out, you'll probably hear the sound change because of the focus on minor, even if you're playing mostly the same notes.

@@HarmonicaRevolution thanks, I’ll give it a try!

Thanks but for me you piled too much information to swallow whole.
