F# Dorian Bebop, Fiddle Side

8 notes to the octave, mapped below onto this reader's GDAE fingerboard, with every F# called out. Those markers are the useful part mid-bar: a chart moves under you, and the thing you need is where the root went — not where the pattern started.

Dorian with a chromatic passing tone slipped between the b3 and the 4 — eight notes, so chord tones keep landing on the strong beats in a run of eighth notes. Cool, flowing, and swinging.

Heard in: Bebop and straight-ahead jazz lines over minor seventh chords — Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and the Barry Harris approach.

This reader plays almost nothing the chart actually wrote: the numbers give the harmony and the line over the top of them is assembled, bar by bar, out of the notes on this page.

Play it slowly against the audio until the position stops being a position, then take it to a chart counted in F# and let the numbers pick their own notes out of it.
