Scales in all 12 positions -TABBED!

1

So I finally got it together - I was searching high and low for something like this, but couldn’t find it…So I made it!

Here is a link to a HarpTab that I made for the scales in all 12 positions - Major and Minor Pentatonic, Blues Scales in multiple octaves and for Chromatic, and the standard 7 note full scale!

Have Fun!

Thank you so much. I can print it as I will be off grid for a month or two it will be really handy.
Just for clarity can you please just explain the use of these symbols

I thought I had the key in the doc…Gotta fix that at some point…

The “1-b3-4-5-b7” is Scale intervals.

So applied to a scale, 1, 4, and 5 would be the first, fourth, and fifth notes in a major scale. The b3 and b7 are the flattened 3rd and 7th notes in a scale.

For example, if the third note in a major scale is ‘B’, and you need the flattened note to create a minor Pentatonic, you would simply make the note ‘Bb’.

The ‘o’ symbol you referenced is my tab to overblow. A +4o or +5o means to overblow that note.

A ‘<’ symbol indicates to press the button on a chromatic harmonica to get that note.
