David:

I've looked all through Lessons 1-3 to find the page you did on scales. I'm feeling a need to better understand and more so, learn and memorize the different scales, i.e., Blues, Pentatonic, etc. As you can tell, I'm sort of jumping a bit, back and forth and all around Lessons 1-3 (mostly 1 and 2 still). Didn't I see one practice page that had the different scales on it? Or was that in a dream somewhere. Heaven knows that would be possible, as I'm putting in about 9-10 hours a week on harmonica. Family says they're noticing a difference. That's a good thing! :)

Everytime I need to search for something on BH website I have to go to Forum and try searching in the search box. I think you need an Index System Search. When I want to find the scales I would like to type "scales", or "Pentatonic Scale" and it shows me anywhere on the site that I can find info on a given search. I know that's a lot to ask! We discussed that may be a possibility some day? Sure would be fast. I only have an hour each morning and there is SOOOO much fantastic information on BH.com but trying to find it can take me 10 minutes or more of my precious practice time. Not complaining!! Just suggesting sort of strongly.

Thanks for this site and all you do!

-Todd

Good morning Todd. Yes, I

Good morning Todd. Yes, I agree, a search function is a good idea and we will implement that when we do a site-wide redesign (this is not a function we can use with our current infrastructure). The series you're looking for starts here http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/movement_exercises_study_1_patterns

Look at Studies 2 and 4 as well for scales, but this may be a good (and fun) place for you to start.
