In other words, you can go up or down, in any rhythm, and repeat notes if you want to, but you have to connect with half steps, no whole steps allowed to get from one place to another.

My brain hurts just thinking about doing this on harmonica. Easy enough on a stringed instrument.
Yer a better man than I am, Gunga Din!

Looking forward to that series. One of the exercises I use to work on the chromatic scale is the intro to "Flight of the Bumblebee". Not fast enough to sting anyone yet. Sandy

Now the real fun begins. Using a metronome, start playing the scale at a slow pace (ie: 60 BPM). Then every few minutes increase the rate until you're on the verge of going stir crazy.
