Hello crossover. I don't know

Hello crossover. I don't know what you mean by leapfrog, please clarify for me.

Are you interested in learning the Major Pentatonic Scale or Minor Pentatonic Scale?... or maybe both!

Thank you for the

Thank you for the clarification. The lesson that covers pattern playing with scales is Movement Exercises Study 1 - Patterns (http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/movement_exercises_study_1_patterns). The lesson that covers the Major Pentatonic Scale is Movement Exercises Study 2 - Essential Scales (http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/movement_exercises_study_2_scales). The lessons that cover how soloing scales work are...

1) Music Theory Study 2 = Modes based on our basic C Major Movement Scale
2) Music Theory Study 5 = Most used soloing scales, the Major Pentatonic and Blues
3) Improvising Study 9 = How to apply the Major Pentatonic and Blues Scales

Yes, traditional blues

Yes, traditional blues harmonica is done in a tongue block, and thus everything is taught on the website that way. Some players do pucker their blow bends.... you can do it that way as you continue to develop control of your blow bends in a tongue block.
