I've hunted the net and can't seem to find Practice Scales/Tabs for Half Valved Diatonic Harp.
There are great resources for OB scales out there, like at OverBlow.com, but not so for half-valved "PT Gazell Method" Seydel harmonica.
Here is an example scale from Ben Newitt for OverBlow Diatonic:
Fifth Position Blues -
2, 3, (3bb), (3b), (3), (4), 5, 6, (6), 6o, (7), (8), 8
Hopefully someone out there can point me in the right direction to find a resource for Half-Valved Diatonic scales.
Many thanks!
Jim

Jimjam,
With the note layout of PT, you should be able to figure the tabs out yourself.
The process of doing that will learn you alot!

jijam the things are pretty easy , you just have to put some work in it . Get PT's pdf , get another layout of the diatonic this time with the overblows , see where the differences are , and you can make it work. For example , your 5th position scale is the same , with the exception of the 6ob which on the half valved harp is the 7 draw bend. Good luck.

Comment: this is the parallel minor scale to the 2nd position major scale. again its more expressive then 4th position, and in combination with the major scale is awesome for rock songs.
