Cross Harp Harmonica?
I'm a beginner. Probably a stupid question, but still ... when playing in second position, which means what exactly in? Do you bend all the notes you play when using this feature, or only some?
OK, a diatonic harmonica tuned to C is set up like this; 12345678910 Blow CEGCEGCEGC DGBDFABCFA Draw a diatonic harmonica tuned to the key of F was set up as this; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 FACFACFACF GCEG Bb Bb D DEG play in the key of C on the harmonica tuned to C and get that scale; CDEFGABC play in the key of C on the harmonica tuned to G and you get this scale; DEFGA C Bb C The key you have to play in the first and the last notes of the scale. The space between the notes have to do with fashion. You play the mixolydian scale as you play cross harp. The mixolydian scale has a flattened seventh. I call it a flattened B, whatever key I play in. I do not know if that's true, but I'm not alone. The answer above is of my profile a few weeks ago. It explains key and detailed fashion. Insofar as many nuts turn, some people bend all notes except the 5-channel pull, and call it the blues scale. I can not tell you what the blues scale. There is too much controversy in that one. In any case you are not planning to D in the three channels without bending. People who play in cross harp have to take notes to bend, because they play the harmonica at the bottom of the missing notes. Bending and blow is described in this link.
