- Three Octave Bebop Scale Runs
- Dominant 7b5 and the Diminished, Altered, and Wholetone Scales
This brief article demonstrates how to leverage scalar tetrachords to construct a useful fingering pattern for three-octave runs of the bebop scale. The article includes a PDF of practice materials.
The dominant 7b5 tetrachord {0, 4, 6, 10} is a subset of the diminished, altered, and wholetone scales. We can use this to develop a useful fingering pattern for all three scales.
