Hi J. So is the only difference between the first of these minor scales and the Dorian scale as follows? The 3-draw half bend in the former is replaced by a 3-draw natural in the latter (and 6 overblow by 7 draw in the next octave)? Cheers.

Exactly!

Forget that last comment about the pentatonic. I've now worked it out, but 4 hours ago I hadn't realised the difference between the pentatonic major, minor and anhemtonics, so I was confused by the different versions on the net. As far as I can work out, the major and minor are respectively done by Howard Levy and Adam Gussow on YT.

Thanks Jason! I'm working on a rectangular variation of my 1994 "Wheel-o-Harp" (in my 008 vid) that shows harp players all the holes (NB not notes) for major, minor, lydian, myxo, harmonic mino, etc. scales in one viewing. Certainly helps me! While I'm here, is the pentatonic merely 2D 3D 4B 4D 5D 6B, or is there a fractional bend on the 3D? Hope you're enjoying your tour/hols.
