I thought I’d mention this technique in case someone, who’s not aware of it, wants to try it out.

I joined last month. Really dig his layered and organized approach that for me, ties together concepts I've struggled with over the years. Looking forward to tagging along with everyone's progress.

I am delighted at how useful Richie's fingering patterns are for running through the cycle of dominants. (I-4-7-3-6-2-5.) I can run through the cycle several times without pause, confusion, or having to think---it's just right there for me. Man, that's sweet! Now I have to vary the patterns, add new ones.. This is really good stuff, and not just another slice of the same old thing.

I imagine he will tie this with ear training so when you hear a sound your fingers will automatically know were to find it.
