How to practice scales?

I have decided to learn scales and i have been going thru a lot of stuff
I know the five positions of the major scales(ive decided to leave modes for later) and pentatonic scales.I can play the pentatonic scales pretty well in all positions.

What i need is a practice routine so that i can make use of these scales.

also i want if ask if its too improtant to know each note u are playing in a scales or is it the intervals and pattern that i s more important.

 

WTF?
nobody here has learnt scales?

 

The best way to "learn" scales is to use them to improvise on chord progressions. You could run up and down them all day and not learn a thing.

 

if uv got a friend....ask him to play sum sort of rythm...and according to the rythm.....improvise a scale u wanna play.....improvise means.....interchange the notes....add bends,hammer ons,pull offs,etc.......but all dis shud be inside one scale or its relative scale.....
for eg
Scale:G maj
Relative Scale:E Min

 

Actually most people who took the trouble to are either banned or dont visit too often

 

Hehe.
But that thing makes fingers particularly fluent with scales.

 

which is why I first put "learn" in quotes

 

how do u know what is the relative scale of a given scale????

 

go three frets i.e three notes backword
for eg..
the A note on the 6th string is 5 fret.....so if we go 3 frets backwords on the same string we come to the f# note....this is how we get a relative scale....
relative scale means dat the same scale is played for 2 notes

 

So
Cmaj=Amin
am i right


Thanks a lot for the info guys
Exactly what i was hoping for

 

thanx man.....even i wanted to know that:beer:

 

Pls answer this queston too
When i play i scale pattern i know just the formula (like WWHWWWH)
and the root note
Is this enough or do i have to know each note on the scale?

 

all thanx to parikrama skool of music.......luckily...i just lrnt relative scales...so i didnt forget wat dey are

Here is a good link if anybody needs backing tracks to practice

 

Well learning is learning.
No two ways about it.




















:slap:

 

this isnt free, i guess :Worried:

 

@vini
I just downloaded a few tracks from the link

Just hit the back button after the you get the box asking for donations

imo u hav a choice - either u pay attention to intervals n stuff while playin - it wil make ur music perfect but perhaps a bit clinical like john mclaughlin or tony macalpine

or u can play by 'feel' - just pick up a song and/or scale n mess around - if u know scales u already halfway there - its like what do u do after learnin the alphabet? construct words rite? likewise u gotta make ur guitar talk

either way keep playin & u _will_ eventually know each note newayz - dont worry abt it - enjoy da music

 

i guess u meant seven positions? one for each note

newayz if u know the 7 positions u dont have to learn modes separately
cos major scale 1st postion = ionian mode
2nd position = dorian
3rd = phrygian
4th = lydian
5th = mixolydian
6th = aeolian
7th = locrian

 

@zing

Thanks for the advice
I was talking abt the CAGED forms

will look into the 7 positions
