    I call it "finger substitution", and I also found E major scale to be a great place to get started with it. Actually, you can apply this technique all through the four octave scales, every day. What I can't understand is why it is not even mentioned in the large number of cello books that I have.

    Glad to hear this! I wonder if it's not mentioned in books from fear of relying too much on substitutions and not learning where the pitches belong on the fingerboard.
