    The following scale exercises are ones that I regularly practice to help me keep familiar with the four asymmetric

    scale forms (Major, Harmonic Minor, Melodic Minor and Harmonic Major) These exercises can be played at any

    tempo which you feel comfortable with but the main point is accuracy here, not speed. There are many ways that

    these exercises could be fingered and the fingerings (within the tablature stave) are only a suggestion.

    I would suggest beginning with the Major scale first if these kind of exercises are new to you, as that is the easiest

    scale to hear melodically and then you can move on to the other scale types. I usually play all these exercises with a

    pick and employing alternate picking, (i.e. downstrokes/upstrokes) however you could (with a little re-fingering) play

    these using other picking and fingering techniques to suit your own playing style.

    Working with a metronome is also a helpful aid in practising these exercises, however I would only suggest this if you

    are already familiar with the fingerings and locations on the fingerboard.
