Hi, guys.

Quick question: what's the most efficient way to practice scales? The way I do is to play all the scales, open position, for one minute on daily basis. And by all I mean: major, minor, pentatonic, pentatonic blues, and the patterns for major and minor.

But the thing is: when I practice improvising, I don't find myself using the open position at all. So should I keep practicing them, or should I just play the patterns and move along the fretboard to play in different keys?

Thank you, and have a great day! :)
