Even though this is a blues course, there is one brief moment in module one where he lays out, systematically, his fingering patterns for both major and minor 251s. ie, how to play 251s systematically in a given position .
Don't sleep on that one, it's not available as a handout, but was briefly mentioned in chart form at the end of one of the video lessons . I copied it into my notebook .

It's printed in the pdf: Module 1 Heptatonic System. But I don't think he expects us to work on that while at Module 1 stage. He just seems to be referencing it for future use, as an example that the fingering system can be used in that context. Besides, he hasn't really discussed the Dorian and Ionian modes yet.
-
Navdeep, I just looked at that page. But of the 7 fingering models he shows, we're only able to play one of them (#5) using the 3 patterns that he teaches in Module 1 (i.e., Patterns 1,4,&5). Am I missing something or perhaps you've asked Richie to unlock the whole course to you at once and are far ahead of me and already working on the other 4 Patterns?
(I see Rob and I posted almost simultaneously...)

Does Ritchie wear that hat to hide his pointy ears, I wonder??

(I think this is the link to my post, which was just made. It's a short thread and Richie's comment should be a short scroll upward.)

I'm not hung up on fingerings, although I recognize the elegance of his system. Basically, if you use pattern 2 for the ii chord, sliding down one position will get you fingerings for all seven diatonic chord scales ( pattern two for the ii chord, pattern five for the five chord, pattern 6 for the vi chord, pattern 3 for the iii chord, slide down one position and use pattern 1 for the I chord, pattern 4 for the IV chord, and pattern 7 for the vii chord. )
It's just like he says: you can do the circle of fifths for all 12 keys only moving down one position.
It's not that complicated or convoluted of a system, but it works very elegantly and allows you to play in cycles more easily, especially cycle 4.
As for sliding down finger one or sliding up finger 4, I was always taught to practice both. With the premise of being: that gives you immediate six fret coverage if you need it . The underlying technical concept his left hand finger independence, so you don't get bogged down by fingerings that impede you from playing .
The initial exercise I always practiced with this concept is to play a chromatic scale using this six fret coverage idea .

Makes the silver even more value as a preview option for the curious I guess. Only thing you're losing is the money back option with that, because you have full pdf.
