Maybe a tough one: Any good ideas for translating the whole modal chromatic thing so prevalent in hard/post bop styles onto the cello? There's more than a few violinists who do it well (Ponty, Howes, Balakrishnan etc), but when I try to transcribe and play on the cello, I run out of fingers and facility pretty quick. Is it just too hard to listen and hope to imitate the 'treble' instruments? Thoughts and ideas valued greatly.
