Major Scale & Folk Songs - Part 4

Note that blows are still blows and draws are still draws (5+ = E, 8+ = E / 5 = F, 9 = F)... this is a great piece of knowledge to have... it makes the high-end a bit more approachable.

Do note that your movement is different though...

In the original line of "When the Saints Go Marching In" you played 4+ 5+ 5 6+ and in the upper octave you played 7+ 8+ 9 9+... for the F (referencing a C Harmonica here) you stayed on the same hole (5+ E) and drew (5 F) to get the next note... for the high end you played the 8+ (E) and had to move up for the 9 (F) to get the next note.

So... the change on the high end is...

When moving UP the scale:
Mid Range = After a blow you draw to get the next note of the scale
High Range = After a blow you move UP one and draw to get the next note of the scale

When moving DOWN the scale:
Mid Range = After a blow you move DOWN one and draw to get the next note of the scale
High Range = After a blow you draw to get the next note of the scale
