Learn the most common scales and modes used on the major diatonic Harmonica. The intention behind these extensive exercises is to develop agility and speed on the instrument. Single-note patterns are introduced without bends. After mastering these exercises the lesson then progresses to patterns with bends. If you want to optimise your performance on the Harmonica, this is a must-have addition to your library! Written in standard notation with Harmonica tablature.
