This is why I wanted a harmonica! I love the bluesy sound, but this Arabic/gypsy/circus style is where my goal lies.

As a middle eastern musician I cant tell you how impressed I am with is. I can't believe that you were able to utilize that scale on the harp! I am still trying to figure out the bending and it's taking me quite some time :/

The nice thing is that all the bends are at their maximum amount, so you don't have to be as exact as (say) bending the 3 hole draw a whole step, which is very tough to get sounding right, and to sustain. Here you bend it all the way, so you just max it out, and it sustains well once you get the feel for it. This scale is also great for any song that uses the flat 2 lydian scale, so you can play C major, then Db lydian with this scale. Sounds similar but is two alternating scales instead of one.

I love playing th Phrygian Dominant scale. Said scale is also known as the Jewish Freygish scale, 1, b2, 3, 4, 5, b6, b7, 1. Nice to add the b3, too, for variety in improvising. This is an excellent exercise for those wanting to hone their overblow/overdraw techniques. I practice this daily, such a refreshing change from playing blues licks. Using this scale has allowed me to know what scale degrees I am playing, it has helped me understand the layout/landscape of the harp. It most definately helped me hone my overbends to a high degree, led me to learn "extreme" overbends, too, available to those who practice a lot. One needs a strong embouchure to execute "extreme" overbends.

Great introduction! I usually play this scale as alternative (see Hungarian minor on Pat Missin's exotic scales for blues harp): -2'' -2 (or 3 blow, but you lose the vibrato) -3''' -3' (or 3 for gypsy) 4 -4' 5 -5 It has the "bend" quality to resemble a Duduk or Zurna (for quarter tones) - if you play it all day long, it will stick to you and you also master the lower octave bends much faster than any other scale!

This lesson has been an eye opener. I can play several positions on a richter, but never tried an Arabic scale, and in what I assume is a first position. I think the scale pattern will lead to new ideas in other styles. Also any minor scale seems somewhat easier to improvise over. Thanks.

THANK YOU!!! I'm also experimenting with bending the 3D a half step down, rather than full release. The only problem is, unless one can do a 6 overblow, it won't translate to the middle octave. Either way...both ways...this is a great addition to my tool kit! Again, THANK YOU!!!
@seejayjames

Make sure you've got the harp adjusted for the 4, 5, and 6 overblows...they are really tough without adjusting them. Once you start to get it, it's addictive, and gets easier...don't force it, they can be done very quietly too. 4 and 6 overblow, especially, are really helpful for blues. 5 overblow (for some reason, for me) is tougher to get, not sure why. Also on the very low harps (like G) the 4 overblow will be tougher because your tongue position needs to be so far back.
