I will be practicing this far a few weeks. ================================================ Split Octave scale for second position Notes from a major pentatonic scale ------- notes leading up to main scale --------- 1 draw (4 draw) 5th scale note 2 blow (5 blow) 6th scale note ------- main scale -------------------------------- 3 blow (6 blow) root 3 draw (7 draw) 4th scale note 4 draw (8 draw) 5th scale note 5 blow (8 blow) 6th scale note 6 blow (9 blow) octave -------note(s) above main scale --------------- 6 draw (10 draw) 2nd scale note ---------- The WV State Harmonica Championship at The Diamond Teeth Mary Blues Festival Aug 27th & 28th 2011, Huntington,WV

And for the follow-on video is he playing R b3 4 6 b7 to approximate a minor pentatonic because there's no good way to get an octave for the 5th, so he substitutes the 6th? Thanks, Keith
