Finally found my savior. This should be the first lesson, however, everyone wants chords served up first. Thank you for this astute tutorial. I can finally become comfortable playing scales.

Great tips again Jeff! I used to press down my fingers with way too much force. Since watching and hearing @kikoloureiroofficial talk about his minimal effort exercise I started to consciously work on this and pay attention to the amount of pressure I apply. This has been so helpful for changing chords and moving across the fretboard. Also it reduces tension in arm, shoulder and neck.
