Patterns again
Last time, I showed you those 7 longform patterns once more. And I showed you how to apply them to one key, linking them together, thereby covering the whole fretboard. Now, let's try it the other way: let's play each pattern starting on the same root. 1st position, starting on F, here we go:
That way, you kinda get to think more, cuz you have to visualize the 7 patterns in the same position. And you can hear the sound of each mode immediately, since you play them all starting on the same root.
Remember that you actually don't have to do ANY of these exercises. I am just suggesting this stuff to you. It helped me quite a bit, and if you think that this is still too different, or doesn't help you any on the way to being the player you wanna be, you don't have to do all this. Make up your own scale workout using some of the exercises from these articles, plus maybe some others from other sources. Customize it.
