Скачать или смотреть How to play the Blues Scale // Chromatic Harmonica

In this lesson I walk you through how to play the blues scale on chromatic harmonica in the key of D. This is aimed squarely at diatonic blues players who are starting to explore chromatic and want something that feels familiar, musical, and practical straight away.

I demonstrate the scale in the lower octave, explain the note choices, and talk through why I prefer certain slide positions even when there are alternative options available.
