By contrast, the country-tuned diatonic harmonica with its 5th-hole draw reed voiced a halftone higher (F to F# in a C harmonica), is not only capable of playing 2 complete major scales but can also play one of them from the second hole in two full octaves.Harmonica enthusiasts who are already familiar with the cross-harp concept of playing a C harmonica in the key of G to achieve the Mixolydian mode, with a blues sound, will be delighted to learn of a further valve alteration that gives players access to 4 chromatic tones from the 5th hole --facilitating play in the relative minor key.Seasoned Mel Bay harmonica author, Phil Duncan, presents this unique book of technique and six melodies for the country-tuned 10-hole diatonic harmonica. All music is presented with lyrics, standard notation and tablature with suggested guitar chords and studio-quality online audio.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mel Bay Publicaitons, Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781513470207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.50h x 7.64w x 0.39d","brand":"Phil Duncan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44493138362549,"sku":"9781513470207","price":12.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_850d17bd-1028-45cd-b6e4-3137c26b6dd5.jpg?v=1721747176","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/country-tuned-harmonica-an-illustrated-guide-for-melodies-improvisations-9781513470207","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
