So let’s tally up all of the chords in a slide harp where where Super-Circular in Cmaj is paired with Super-Circular in Emaj, i.e. exactly four half-steps higher:

Please refer to the post above, at Tue Jan 01, 2019 11:14 am . The second diagram of that post shows Super-Circular in the key of E. If we think about its Emajor chord as being a III chord (relative to the upper diagram in Cmajor), then we get this: http://www.brendan-power.com/forum/download/file.p...

Recently I have considered the scenario in which a person gets a harmonica and proceeds to learn songs without any instruction whatsoever. I imagine that most people would figure out some chords--even without knowing what they are--and also single-note melodic play. I doubt though that most people w...

The two tunings above, identified as "Cmaj" for the first one and "Emaj" for the second one, make up two parts of a functional triad of tunings that are equally spaced (by four semitones) on the Circle of Fifths. The third tuning of this triad is shown below. There are four possi...

I discovered here https://www.brendan-power.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=212&p=1871#p1872 that Super-Circular tuning can be paired with a sibling that is tuned exactly four semitones higher. As a pair, these two six-hole tunings comprise a wide array of highly useful chords. CORRECTION: In ...

Take a good look at the chordal area of the tuning posted above on Tue Dec 25, 2018 1:41 pm . Now imagine this as being one layer in a slide harp. Most slide harps are tuned so that the button-press either raises or lowers each note by either one (typically) or two (more rarely) semitones . But what...

I have noticed that the table posted on Mon Dec 24, 2018 11:52 am (above) shows that this particular key of Super-Circular excels chordally in the song keys of Cmajor and Fmajor. For melodic play that tuning can make the Cmajor diatonic scale without bends ... but what about the Fmajor diatonic scal...
