12/11 - High-End Playing (Class Size: 10 / Seats Left: 3 / Rate: $145)
Most recorded 2nd Position harmonica music is played on holes 1 through 6. Every now and again an artist goes to the high end and it’s usually damn exciting, but due to the lack of recorded material on the high end, it’s challenging to find good examples to study. In this class we’ll study artist licks that I’ve collected over the years. We’ll also examine scales that work great on the high end and improvising concepts such as octave substitution (moving licks from an area of the harmonica that you’re familiar with to an area that you’re not). All skill levels may attend this class. Class Times: 10am-5:30pm. Register Here: http://mkt.com/harmonica-masterclass-co/high-end-playing
