Hello again,

I have another question. I've looked for a video on it, but can't find one...

I've been practicing scales, but only using the first 5 frets and moving strings. For me building mechanics, this is helpful, and probably the way to go. But, as I looked at the C Major scale exercise here, It was using the higher frets and a single string more. I do realize that they are the same notes, and I suppose to some extent it's "6 of one, 1/2 dozen of another". But, I was wondering if someone could speak to why you would or wouldn't use a single string and move higher on the fretboard as opposed to moving to an adjacent string before 5th fret (and vice versa) . Is it faster? Is this something that will serve me when I do more advanced stuff, etc?

This kind of strikes me as one of those things that I'd learn why by myself eventually, but can save some time and gain insight by asking. So I am :)

Thanks!
