It is possible to continue the Third Position Blues Scale upwards from the 8i note used in the previous section, although the entire Third Position Blues Scale is not available in the high end of the harmonica.
However, the notes 9i, 9e and 10i can be used in Third Position songs and blues solos. Two versions of this high end scale are presented in Licks 34a and 34b.
As in Exercise 33, manipulating the rhythm of the scales will produce more interesting sounding licks. Practicing Licks 34a through 34d will also facilitate the playing of the improvised version of Saint James Infirmary, in Exercise 36.
