Lesson Seven: Exploring Fifth Position Minor
Welcome back!
In this lesson, we will continue exploring fifth position minor.
Recap of Lesson Six
In lesson six, we discussed why I chose fifth position minor as my preferred method for learning in a minor key using a major diatonic harmonica. The pentatonic scale we covered in that lesson is crucial for this session. You will find many notes from that scale useful as we play through the head of our next tune and when we work on a solo.
The Tune: Sugar
Today, we will play a tune by Stanley Tarantin which works perfectly in fifth position. I believe this is a fantastic choice for us to learn together.
- Song: Sugar
- PDF: Follow along on your PDF.
Playing Instructions
- Listen carefully to the intro and note that it has a four-beat count off, starting on beat three. You will hear two beats before we begin the melody line.
- Follow along on your PDF and listen to me play.
- After this, you will have time to practice on your own with the track that does not include the harmonica.
Observations
The head of Sugar is straightforward and logically laid out for the harmonica in fifth position.
- It features what I refer to as a stair-step melody, the way it descends in intervals makes complete sense.
- The arrangement is also logical for fifth position minor on the harmonica.
Practice
Check out the tablature in your PDF, practice diligently, and work on getting the head down solidly.
Next lesson, we will have the opportunity to create a solo with this material and tie everything together.
I'll see you in the next one!
About the instructor
PT Gazell hat sich seine Stellung als Meister der diatonischen Mundharmonika erarbeitet. Nach Jahren als gefragter Begleit- und Studiomusiker für einige der größten Namen Nashvilles entdeckte PT das Half-Valving, und seine Musik erreichte buchstäblich neue Höhen. Kein anderer Spieler verbindet seine Phrasierung, seinen melodischen Stil, seine Stückauswahl und seine Improvisationsfähigkeiten so wie er - am Ende ist es ein ganz eigener Stil. Mit seinem eigenen Signature-Instrument, der von Seydel gefertigten diatonischen Gazell Method, beweist PT, dass die Mundharmonika zu weit mehr fähig ist, als die meisten von uns glauben. Genieß es! In seinen Kursen unterrichtet PT das Half-Valving direkt aus erster Hand, damit du mit der Gazell Method starten, gedämpfte (valved) Bends meistern und sie in deine eigenen Songs einbringen kannst. read more
