[Harp-L] Other Scales on Chrome: Charts for 12 Major Scales on C Chromatic

[Richard Hammersley]

Hi Robert
Under the tuition of Michael Rubin, I am learning all 12 scales on a C chromatic. As Michael teaches, this has proven a very useful as a way of improving both chromatic and diatonic playing, because you practice knowing where all the notes are and learn the notes in every scale.

Plus, it fosters accuracy in playing the right note, especially I have found when tackling the keys with flats in them. 

To help me - I am bad at memorising things - I created the attached set of charts, which you and your student may find useful. I find harmonica tab difficult to read at speed, so I mapped the notes required for each scale on to a diagram of a 10 hole chromatic instead. Then its ?just? a matter of practicing the scales. Michael is very good at not despairing at my innumerable errors :)

Best wishes
Richard
