Does anyone have experience with blues scale or minor pentatonic tuning as listed at overblow.com? I don't overblow, I'm just an old school guy, but I've always wondered why there isn't a tuning that puts the blues scale on a harp so that no bending is required. The blues scale tuning at overblow.com does that for first position, but second position gets weird.Minor pentatonic looks interesting because in second and third position, playing dorian and natural minor scales makes all unaltered notes from 1B to 10D within the scale. I like that a lot, I hate thinking I can't play a certain note, or I have to nail a half-bend. The only hitch is that the flatted third (Bb on a C harp, cross)must be overblown. I guess that would ruin things? Anyway, Seydel would make a blues scale tuning for cross harp, I'm sure, but would there be drawbacks to this? Yeah, I'm looking for a shortcut. ; )
