as basic as it gets, inspired by what's-his-name (DT) doing the chromatic scale-- so if in my right hand i want to play

C Eb F F# G Bb C, what is the classically proscribed "best" theory? i think i play it 1-3 1-2-3 4 5 . that can't be right. and when you do a scale is it best to finger it the same way coming back down.

I took a tip from a great blues player: Jan Garfinkle.

 

He says "include the natural seventh in your blues scale, it sounds better and it makes the fingering easier"

 

The fingering for C is: 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4

 

subsititute the thumb for the 4 when crossing into the next octave....:cool:
