Theory study 3
Dear teacher
when I arrived at the minor chords section, I became a little confused. To play on the G Minor jam track with triads 1-G-Bb-D-F. 4-C-Eb-G-Bb. 5-D-F-A-A, should I use my C harp 2nd position minor in myxolidian or my Bb harp 4th position in minor and start on the hole 3 '' ?
Thank you
Hello Mr Bourgeois. You can play on any harmonica (any position) where those notes are available and you're comfortable soloing. Since you're most comfortable playing in 2nd Position, then yes, grab that C Harmonica and use the appropriate bends to play those notes.
If I understand. I can play second position C harp and turn my major chords to minor if I play over G minor jamtrack ? myxolidian mode (scale) just give me a more blusy sound Because I adjust my G scale with 7b in my C harp. I understand ?
thank you
Yes, use a G Minor jam track. You're close... not the Mixolydian scale, but the Minor Scale... G A Bb C D Eb F G. Since Eb is hard to come by, just skip that note. As the Minor Lesson on the site teaches, the blues scale is a great choice.
Ok ... If I can play mixolidian or minor in second position, can I play dorian in second position?
Nope, you can't play the Mixolydian Scale... it has a major 3rd and major 6th (minor has a lowered 3rd and 6th)
You also can't use the Dorian Scale... it has a major 6th (minor has a lowered 6th)
Stick to the minor scale (because in you're in minor) or the Blues Scale
Now I understand ;) thank you very much for your time. Have a nice day teacher.
Happy to help
