[Harp-L] RE: Recommended Scales on chrom?

["O'Sullivan, Chris \(GPCT-CAI\)" <Chris_O'Sullivan@xxxxxx>]

"Hi folks,
I recently bought a chromatic book from Mel Bay,think the author is
Bobbie Joe Holzman.
Very comprehensive study of the chrome and quite user friendly,having
said that , he covers approximately 14 different scales on a C chrom and
speaking personally,even in a lifetime I could never learn off all
these, less commit them to memory!
My question is; aside from the Dorian (3rd pos stuff,which I love!),
what other modes would you quys suggest are the more important,/relevant
scales to work on.
I tend towards Smith,Clarke ,Delay etc but also appreciate Toots'
Bluesette for example and listening to Smith's "Peg",its clear he is
"pulling the trigger"occasionally ,ie not merely playing Dorian.
For instance,what modes would the Harmonica gangs (Rascals etc )have
used most frequently?
Any advice appreciated.
Sean"
 
I have the transcription of William Clarke's SERIOUS INTENTIONS cd, I
picked it up from HARP HOUSE when it was Kevins Harps. Work with this
book and you will have enough to draw from.  Plus if you love the cd ( I
do ) it is fun to learn and you have some great songs to cover. The WORK
SONG on the big 16 hole chro with the octave splits will caused you to
lose sleep, But in a good way :-))
