I remember practicing this from your fist book, because I wanted to practice 5ths. I didn't follow the fingering because I play fingerstyle so it was easier to do it this way.
Now i practiced this with pick and fingers.
Pick -Pick Hybrid ( Down Down Finger ) or P-H-H seems the way to go.

i play it with pmam pmam etc. once I get it down a little better I'll post a video.

Hey Jack. Do you have any personal contact with Dave Creamer?
-
David Creamer is an interesting guy. He appeared on a Miles album ("On the Corner"), which wasn't very popular at the time, but has gained a cult following since then. The Miles gig launched a lot of guitar players, and all his peers have had nothing but good things to say about him. He was a teacher to some really good players (Tuck Andress, Joe Satriani, Jason Becker). But for the most part, he's kept an extremely low profile.
I did get ahold a very obscure instructional book he wrote back in the 80's or early 90's on scales, which made me curious to find more of his teaching materials.
For a long time, his website was pretty bare bones, but it looks like its been updated recently, and that he'll have a new book out sometime this year:
TheOctatonicSystem
I think he also wrote a series of columns for Guitar Player back in the early 90's that were supposedly quite good -- including one on 12 tone row improvisation that's supposed to be VERY good.
Anyone have access to back issues of Guitar Player, through a library or some other catalog? It'd be very cool to dig those up again.

I remember going to his house one day and was astonished at all the jazz recordings he had and how engrossed he was in his music. He was miles ahead of me.
I was told in the late 60's he was living as a recluse in a one room apartment above a store in Oakland possibly teaching. I believe he, as I did, took lessons from Warren Nunes.
I tried to reach him by email on his web site but never got a reply.

I've seen Dave perform twice, both many years ago.
Once in the basement at Larry Blake's and again at a street fair in Walnut Creek.
Sadly, although there were lots of people at the fair, almost nobody stopped to listen to Dave's trio.
Every guitar player around the Bay Area knows who he is, but I haven't met anybody in years who actually has gigged with him. Not clear why. His website lists him as teaching in a neighborhood music store in Oakland.
Interesting store. Sheila E got her first drum set there. Duck Bailey taught there for years.
-
a friend of mine is sending me an out of print dave creamer book on chromatic scales! I'll report back when I get it.

Here's a picture of my band in 1966. Dave is at the bottom right. I'm standing. This band was way ahead of its time.
-
wow, any recordings?

This one is great, I like your playing. Very interesting stuff to add to vocabulary at least. Maybe, when I have more time I could investigate it deeper.
Do you, by chance have other pages from this article. Missing ones are 99, 102, 103 and 105. I would be grateful if you could post them too.
Also, you said you got the book. Any comments about the material?
Anyone else use Genius Jamtracks?
