I know some scales on my traditional 6 string guitar, (pentatonic) Are there scales for 3 string and what tuning would I use and, I've been using the simple open tuning GDG, EBE, AEA, like that. I hope this starts a long discussion as I'm sure it will be helpful to many of us new 3 stringers. Thanks
Scales, how do they look on a 3 string?
