The 1-4-7-3-6-2-5 cycle of fingerings (-of Dominant 7ths through the cycle of descending fifths) is a real breakthrough for me. I can run through the cycle several times without getting lost and without having to think—it seems so natural!
I’m looking forward to the bebop calisthenics, as I’m assuming they will involve running lines / patterns through the cycle.
None of the bebop calisthenics go through the entire vertical cycle in this 1st VOL. This would entail learning all 7 fingerings for each mode that is introduced.Unfortunately this is too much at this point for most students. However, if you’re at the level where you can learn all the fingerings, go for it!
