With the special sound of its five altered tones, the Harmonic Minor is ideal for so-called world music – i.e. music from outside the Central European cultural area. The harmonic minor creates a very typical, exotic sound and has left its mark on a complete side of Lee Oskar’s first solo album. Absolutely recommended listening.
It is marked for keys in the 1st position and is usually played in this position.
Available in 12 keys from Gm to F#m.
Helpful overviews for the selection of keys are enclosed with every Lee Oskar harmonica.
HARMONIC MINOR
1st position (Straight Harp): Harmonic Minor – World Music
Understanding 1st/2nd position:
1st position (Straight Harp) begins with an exhaled blow note (blow), 2nd position (Cross-Harp) begins with an inhaled draw note (draw). Although it is possible to play other positions on a harmonica and thus many different keys, most players only use these first two positions.
Understanding Altered Tuning:
Unlike standard diatonic harmonica tuning, altered tuning changes individual notes on the instrument. This results in different tone material and faster access to certain styles, scales and sounds.
