Patterns
You could also focus on memorizing the patterns. Let's skip pentatonic patterns (which I have talked about in the workout-series) and major patterns for now, and let's get to the good ol' Three-Note-Per-String-Patterns (3NPS). I have written an article about it before, which you might wanna check out HERE
Here are the 7 patterns once again:
I think I explained already how to link those together. So, let's go ahead and play through those 7 patterns, key of E min, starting on the lowest note (it's Pattern VI from the 3NPS-article, starting on the sixth degree of the major scale… or the root of the relative minor scale)
Here's pattern VII, starting on the 2nd degree of the minor scale (or 7th degree of the major scale)
Here's pattern I, starting on the 3rd degree of the minor scale (or root of the major scale)
Here's pattern II, starting on the 4th degree of the minor scale (or second degree of the major scale)
