Hm, maybe you guys want some more stuff?? Hehe, take a look at this!! It's a simple A major scale and I use it alot (though I almost only play metal, were the minor scale are much more common). This is a great way to learn the scale so it comes more natural when you improvise. First play exercise 1 till you can play it with your eyes closed, then do the next exercise. If you have the time, play each exercise 10-15 minutes. That will surely give you results! Do this for some days, and as you learn it better and better, play it only perhaps 2-3 minutes each 6-8 times a day!

Very simple. Just go up and then down. I didn't wrote the descending pattern, it's the very same if but backwards! =D

Puh, that was a long one, but it's not as hard as it seems. It's a clear pattern which you will understand less than 2 minutes!!! I didn't wrote the fingering, you should be able the know that by now..

Well, guys, I hope you learned something out of this. Keep playing!!!
