Key of C third position blues scale

[alciere@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Do you feel like working on your bends or would you like the easy version? 

The C blues scale is 

C, Eb, F, Gb, G, Bb and sometimes Cb which is the same as B most of the 
time. 

Third position would be a Bb harp 

Start with the 4th hole draw 

4d=C 5d=Eb 6b=F 6d=G 7b=Bb *d=C 9b=F 9d=Eb 10b=Bb and 10d=G 

You can bend the 4d and the 6d for blue notes. 

If you want some of the lower notes 

1b=Bb 1d=C 2dd=Eb 3b=F and 3dd=G 

With those notes the G is the hardest. It's eay to bend too far and get a 
Gb. But Gb is a valid note in the C blues scale so don't sweat it. Just tune 
up your ear so you know when it's flat. 

It looks simple, but it does take a little time to make it musical and get 
comfortable with it. Very fun to play with. It's a nice change in a practice 
routine.
