A map of every note, organized by note\r\nname.Intonation Practice Exercise. How to use this harmonica to improve your\r\nintonation on-the-go.Relationships Between Positions. By essentially having\r\n(in the C harp) both C and Db Richter-tuned diatonic harmonicas onboard, you\r\ncan leverage overlap in their positions. This gives you two very different\r\nways of playing with the same root note.Key Notes: Positions 1, 2, and 3. The\r\nmost important section of the book. Provides tabs for the major, major\r\npentatonic, minor, and minor pentatonic \u0026amp; blues scales, and, perhaps most\r\nimportantly, outlines the \"money notes\" and tips for using them in positions\r\n1, 2, and 3.Beyond 1, 2, \u0026amp; 3. Overview of positions 4-12. Outlines both scales\r\nand key notes.Chords and Octaves. A brief overview of chords and octaves.All\r\nKey Position Reference. This book's tabs apply to a C harmonica. If you buy\r\nharps in other keys, this section contains a chart that will help you apply\r\nthese tabs to them.Appendix. Includes terminology (since this book uses some\r\ncommon music terms), a review of scale notes \u0026amp; scale degrees, and Roman\r\nNumerals as chord symbols. Also includes note maps for the red and yellow\r\nversions of the 10-hole slide diatonic harps.This is not a lesson book. It is\r\na reference guide, akin to a manual, that you can use to apply traditional\r\nblues harp skills to a new instrument. There is a LOT of information– I\r\nrecommend taking it a little bit at a time. But this harmonica offers a lot of\r\nlow-hanging fruit, and this book will help you pluck it. For performers, the\r\n10-hole Richter-tuned slide diatonic offers incredible additions in expression\r\nand phrasing. As an educator, I’m also excited about a blues harmonica that\r\nwill make some critical music fundamentals (scales, arpeggios) more accessible\r\nto intermediate and advanced harmonica players.
