Ab, Eb, Db, A, Ab, Gb, F, Gb, Ab, Eb, Db............... descending

Ab, Db, D, Ab, Gb, F, Gb, Ab. Db, D, Ab................ascending

[cas10a]

Thumb 1 - Pinky 5
For the first run descending...

Ab - 5
Eb - 3
Db - 2
A - 1
Ab - 3
Gb - 2
F - 1
Gb - 3 or 4 whichever is more comfortable for you...I'd use 4 to free up 3rd finger for the Eb coming off the 5 on Ab below
Ab - 5
and so on descending...
 
I haven't tried the ascending run, but just looking at it...here is the fingering I would use...
Ab - 1
Db - 2
D - 1
Ab - 3
Gb - 2
F - 1
Gb - 2
Ab - 1
and so on ascending...

A 'run' is simply playing a series of single notes. A lot of musicians also use the term, 'lick'.


Hope that helps, and welcome.
