Mox Gowland, who has written several works on the harmonica diatonic, delivers to us at harmopoint, a method to learn the Blues scale in various positions.

Each book contains 25 progressive exercises, grace to which you will be at ease in the improvisation of the Blues.

The exercises are envisaged to be always played on this same harmonica in C.

They are gathered in four charts which reproduce each time the same exercises. Each one of these charts will take a different tonic and a tonality.

• Position 2 takes degree V of the instrument as its tonic: G

• Position 3 takes degree II of the instrument as its tonic: D

• Position 4 takes degree VI of the instrument as its tonic: A

• Position 5 takes degree III of the instrument as its tonic: E

While playing these exercises, which are short musical phrases (riffs) typical of the blues and “rhythm and blues”, one will familiarize oneself with their specific tonality.

They help you to learn, in the pre-selected position, both physically and rhythmically, to be at ease everywhere on the instrument.
