Matt, even though I cannot get on the call with you this time I am planning on joining your group later this week. I do have a question though… Those exercises where you are adding half steps or whole steps above the portal tones to create a new scale to improvise with over changes, are you basing it on the concept of the diminished scale? Where it’s just basically stacked whole steps in half steps? They are a lot of fun to play the way, you are suggesting it, and I look forward to learning more from you.

I’ve studied string bass and violin growing up, and I teach music at the middle school level in Queens. I play in multiple groups on both instruments.
