A short overview of the same mode played in different positions. As you can hear there are better positions for this tune than others. For example the C harp in 4th sounds the worst because of the unstable root. Even though this tune is traditionally played in 2nd position (cross harp) I prefer to play it on a G harp in 3rd position because I think it offers more sonic options due to it's naturally occurring DORIAN MODE.Harps used in the sampleD harp 2nd positionC harp 4th position Bb harp 6th positionG harp in 3rd position [ More Detail ]
When I practice scales, I almost never just play the scale alone unless I am out and about. I think this stuff is better learned when put into an appropriate musical context. The scales are listed below. Practice playing the scales over the backing track and then generalize the sound of the scale juxtaposed to the chord by playing whatever comes to mind. Keep time with the music and work on phrasing during the progression. You can also practice playing the chord tones against the chords, I delineated them with 1st inversion chords, try to stay away from always playing roots with Chord tones, that's the bassist's job!I tried to keep theory talk out of this vid as much as possible but in future videos I'll demonstrate how these modes are a precursor to playing changes and especially the ii-V-I which is something every musician should know. The greek modes:C = Ionian/major CDEFGABC D = Dorian DEFGABC (funk/blues/jazz)E = Phrygian EFGABCDE (Mid-east/Spanish/Jazz)F = Lydian FGABCDEF (Jazz/Folk)G - Myxolydian GABCDEFG (Blues/Rock/Country)A = Aoelian ABCDEFG (Folk/Latin/Jazz)B = Locrian BCDEDFAB (Algerian/Jazz/Ethinic)Scale-Tone Chords of the C major scale1. Cmaj7 = E - G - B - C2. Dm7 = F - A - C - D3. Em7 = G - B - D - E4. Fmaj7 = A - C - E - F5. G7 = B - D - F - F6. Am7 = C - E - G - A7. Bø = D - F - A - BThe backing track is available at:http://www.buddhasgarden.net/music/the_modes.mp3The plan is to eventually visit each and every key on it's own.

a short video on what I think is a very music style of vibrato. I used an A harmonica for the lesson. Regarding the music I was playing an A harp played in the key of G at the end I switched to a key of D harp played in the same key.The music is a tune I'm writing (I didn't play the melody) played through band in a box. If you want to plug in the chords they are:Gmaj7|Em7|Am7|D7Gmaj7|Em7|Am7|D7G7sus|G7|Cmaj7|B7Em7 A9|F#m7b5 B7| Em7 A9|F#m7b5 B7Em7 A9|F#m7b5 B7| Em7 A9|F#m7b5 B7 [ More Detail ]
the 5 positions of the C major diatonic scale, as taught by many instructors, are shown. John explains where they come from, and why he prefers the 7 scale positions with 3 notes on every string.
