As a naturally occurring overtone of the harmonic series, the interval of a (Perfect) Fifth, and ultimately the Cycle (Circle) of Fifths (4ths) - upon which the fundamentals of Western melody and harmony is based - often gets taken for granted by both beginning and advanced improvisers alike. |

Taken for granted in what way? Not meant to be snarky response, I really don’t know what you mean.

Taken for granted, possibly, like most of us take electricity for granted. It's there - we use it and don't think about it (until it's not - or until we get the bill!).
I included a link to a blog post, which may have been overlooked, which may either clarify or confuse.
I'm also referencing my own experience.
Thanks for your attention. |

I just looked you up - that's an impressive resume. I'm going to dig into your blog to see what I can find because my ability to improvise (or lack thereof) has been a big hole in my abilities as a player for my whole career. _________________ Patrick Gleason

Well, it's assumption is based on the overtone series, but with non-universal assumptions. _________________ "If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn." Bird

IME, it (Circle of 4ths/traditional W modulation/etc.) doesn't seem to be by a lot of the methods and teachers (myself included) I've been privy to. |
