If you play arpegios for every chord in a scale for practice (a la Mooncat), do you learn just one scale on a diatonic, or multiple positions?
Curious where to rate my skillz.
I use just one C-major ionic scale = C D E F G A B C.
From this scale, you can compose chords:
C-major = CEG
d-minor = DFA
e-minor = EGB
F-major = FAC
G-major = GBD
a-minor = ACE
B-diminished = BDF
All these chords you can play as arpeggios in C-major diatonic harmonica in the first position.
If you want to play chords from the other key, just switch harmonicas and play the same as in C-major. For example:
Chords D-major, e-minor, f#-minor, G-major, A-major, B-minor. Can be played on a D-major diatonic harmonica.
