Practice Tips

  • Root, (the letter name of the scale) to the Octave — Ascending,
  • Octave to Root — Descending
  • Random Order — Start on any note of the scale and end on any note of the scale. The scales can be extended below and above the root on the staring string and above the octave on the ending string.
  • Start on Any Finger, Any String — The QUICKSTART Scale and Arpeggio Series of books have example fingering solutions for starting on each finger and string.
