Does anyone have any advice on when first learning scales, are you better to memorise the intervals in each pattern ( eg 1st 2nd 3rd 5th 6th) or the notes of the pattern (eg A B C# E F#)?
Or is it better in the long run to just memorise both from the start??
I've been playing a long time but have never properly learned either, I just memorised the patterns and played by ear, but I'd like to do it right now, so I've gone back to basics!!!!
