Thanks, Jonah! Your videos are very motivating and instructional. As and added value, your suggestions and links published in the description section facilitates the decision making to finnaly enjoy and dive in to harmonica entry level. ¡Congrats!
Hey, sure. The note layout makes it so that each adjacent 3 holes play the diatonic chord based on the root note. So you have C maj, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, Bdim. In addition, you can also add the next seventh, 9th, 11th and 13th if you want to get fancy. It’s a cool tuning, at some point I’ll make a dedicated video on it, I just don’t think the demand is there, as in, I don’t expect it to do well on here.
Very cool and helpful. Does chugging mainly apply to shuffle rhythms because when I listen to players like Sonny Boy2 the riffs are single notes, double stops? Would you say chugging is mainly a sort of beginner type of ploy since single notes are harder to hit? Thank you
It’s not a power chord, which would be a root and a fifth. This is a minor third starting with the B, even if you flip it, it becomes a major sixth which is very different harmonically. If we’re going to dig into it, if played quickly, you hear it as a G major chord, with a substituted bass note. If you stay on it, it becomes a B minor chord without the fifth, which is also a diatonic chord in the key of G major, which is why it still works.
@@HarmonicaRevolution Oh yes for the draw you are right and thanks a lot for the explanation, but for the 3,4 blow it is the root and the 5th since its GC which is a power chord right? I also noticed that with the minor tuned harps in 2nd position you can play chords for the 1, 3,4, and 5. Then if you add a minor tuned harmonica that is in 3rd position you get 4,6,and 7 so you can almost play all of the chords.
@@chickenman7252 You are right for the blow notes, it's just a power chord. I didn't differentiate it in the video, because it still feels like a G, but technically, there's no 3rd, so you could use it in other contexts as well. And yeah, the minor tuned harps are more versatile with chords, for sure. I like having a major harp and a complementary minor key harp with me to have a choice on how I'm playing things, and having the extra chords is useful.
