Major scale/arpeggio excercise

Tenhole.com diatonic harmonica examples:
The major scale is played up to the ninth, back down and then followed by a major seventh arpeggio.
The example is played on a C major diatonic harmonica.

If you have practiced the scales and the arpeggios you will know that a scale has a very different breathing pattern than an arpeggio. This excercise combines to two in order to familiarize you with switching between the two.

@werneck2000 Maybe you should checkout my series of videos on major scales.

oh my god...

such a monster. impressive, really impressive.

just a question, is it normal as a beginner to feel pain on my mouth doing scales and exercises?

[TKoorn]

@marcoferaldi relaxation is key. If you play scales you have to work on doing them as relaxed as possible.

thanks a lot for posting this video tinus.. would it be possible for you to place the harmonica tab for this exercise online.. if not the whole exercise.. then maybe just scale by scale. much grateful. regards, gaurav

@gauravcha The excercise is this: Play a major scale up to the ninth and back and then play a major 7th arpeggio up and down. I could write that out in tab, but that would not help. You need to understand it in order to play it. If you need info on where notes are on a harmonica then check out overblow.com.
