[Harp-L] Harmonica Karma Sutra

[IcemanLE@xxxxxxx]

Your statements about notes outside scales and non standard scales  
indicate you may be heading down a wrong path in understanding how music  works.
 
It is the harmonica set up (where the notes live) that is the  challenge.
 
A simplified version of harmonica positions may be - 12th position offers  
the same note relationships that 1st position offers, although, with 12th  
position, you need a stronger control of notes created through bending  
techniques.
 
First position on a "C" harmonica will give you C Major scale notes. 12th  
position on a "G" harmonica will give you C Major scale notes.

Is it  to play songs that are written with notes outside of the  standard
scales?
Is it because the songs are written in the "non  standard" scales?
Is it a genre thing?
Is it a challenge issue to push  ones ability?
