Yup
You may remember ... this was one of the three methods I described for
learning scales the other day.... I got it from my old friend Ken Howells
(Ken was a guy who played with the Morton Fraser group in the UK... BUT...
if you were talking music with him at home, he had a vast array of
instruments of all types, wood, string, brass, keyboard , guitars etc....
you would talk tunes and he would pick up the nearest thing wherever he
happened to be and launch int an improvisation on the durn thing....
there was a REAL musician.... and his aim.... to make music, it's theory
and practicalities accessable to the beginner.... he transmitted pure
verve with his teaching (if you could call what he did teaching !!!)

Makes sense to use the same system on a diatonic.
