this is an exercise i do to warm up. It helps me to tie jazzy dominant chord voicings with major scale "modes" in any key.
It also helps me play thru ii-V's while minimizing my left hand movement, and helps me visualize those parts of the fingerboard that used to be "no man's land" for me. (I also called it "stumble territory")

This may be a dumb question but when do you play the chords on your 3 page mode sheets. They sound like the 5th chord in the root of the key but they don't have the root note in them.

not a dumb question at all ... you are hearing the "dominant" (5 chord of a "key") chord that this cycle is built on. I'm playing voicings that all contain 3 and 7 of each dom7 chord thru the cycle ... those 2 notes are the most important for determining the sound of that dom7 chord. So ... like you said ... they are the 5 chord of a "key" ... and they are voiced (with the exception of the 1st voicing) without the bottom note being the "name" or root of the chord.
and .. each of these chords contain "color" tones from the original major parent scale that you mention.
the color tones in each of these voicings are a 6(13) or 9 of the particular dominant 7 chord.

This stuff is EXCELLENT! I can see it, hear it, and have it explained!
There is a lot going on in my life unrelated to music at this moment. So soon I hope to be able to take your materials and start sitting down and working through this stuff. You keep posting information that is dead on. I'll keep lurking and absorb what I can. Soon will have time for this, soon....
