Cool!, great coverage of the topic! Thank you for including the down-loadable lesson materials, as always. I don’t know if I should be happy about the fact that the first thing my nerdy mind did was visualize the Wheel of Fifths when you first mentioned Eb. Eb Maj. with three flats, the “BEAD” mnemonic, etc. Bb, Eb, Ab, and since you went Mixo on us, make it a Db 🙂 Have a great weekend, Mr. Smith; always enjoy & benefit from your lessons!

You nailed it again Mark! You just solved a big problem for me on a couple of songs. This is good for a lot of I IV V songs that take you up too high on the neck which makes the bass line too thin, lacking bottom.
Mark after a few days messing with this lesson it helped me a great deal understand the framework of arpeggios to which I’m just now getting use to.
The first 8 months I had to get my dexterity back after a ten year lay off.
Thank you much ,

Hi Mark,
Great lesson. I always felt not confident in Eb and descending from the root down. This is helping me a lot. Time for practice. Thanks
