3-octave pentatonic scales on 6-string bass

A way of looking at pentatonic scales on bass, breaking them up into trichords. A possible way of getting at a more Arabic maqaam/jins approach, or Prez' way of making three notes do the maximum work over the most time. It should be possible to "develop" a given trichord (adding, sharping, or flatting notes for instance) the way one uses ajnas within a maqaam. Also just a good position-shifting exercise.

Low-B players (that would be, like, everyone but me) can just add 1 to any 6th-string fret number on the TAB staff.
