David, good to see you here. Are you down to A now? This is an easier way to learn, especially powerfull for chord-bass progressions. The scales are pretty simple, justshift everything by one tone down. Tunning in 5ths is very effectiv for playing solo in cello style - 1 full scale is very easily played in one position on two strings. Arpegios are very easy too - fretting 5 - 8 on 7th and 5 - 8 on 6th gives you minor 7th, 5 - 9 and 5 - 8 - dominant 7, 5 - 9 and 5 - 9 - maj 7... you will figure the rest
kEEP THE BAKER, YOU MAY NOT FIND ANOTHER 7!
