Practice Log: blues scale, walking bass, minor chords
- minor chords in second inversion can be built on many (but not all) degrees of the blues scale
- the ones that sound good minor chords build on: 5, 6, 1, 2, ♭3
- but must use second inversion (3rd on top)
- really standard, savage blues sound
- turns out the ones that sound good sort of follow the “A” position voicing built on 7th, 3rd, and b5 of the scale
Listening to Herbie Hancock — St. Louis Blues — Stevie Wonder has such a distinct sound on the harmonica that I immediately knew it was him. And sure enough, do-do-do-dooo.
