    That's a really good way of approaching how to think more openly on practicing scales. All 3 excersizes are pretty fun to play around with.

    I force myself to learn scales from the MIDDLE so I don't just start on the low E !

      so you would be practicing the relative minor scales of the Maj & relative Maj of the min then... I think what is being proposed in this video is to start looking OUTSIDE the scale for relations within the scale >>> like the penatatonic scale can be a map to taking the scale to different places on the Fretboard BUT don't just go someplace else ALSO play something different... like in one example where he was playing a 1/3 s... so that way you are no longer playing scales but are beginning to venture forth from playing the scale to playing music based upon the scale... the further & more creative you can go the greater the learning experience.... it is as much a mental exercise as a physical one bcuz IF you are thinking of what you are playing & what you are going to play then you have the right mindset... you want to be like an NFL QB >>> you want to take what the DEF is giving you... BUT YOU WANT TO TAKE EVERYTHING that the DEF is giving you.... so it is like a controlled aggression where you max the non scale pattern/ sequence/ without going outside the boundaries of the relations between notes that make them sound good together... that way you keep yourself on the LEADING EDGE of your mental & creative abilities & don't get trapped in the "safety" box of essentially being just another technician who knows how to play scales real well that fit with the chord changes in the rhythm... the art of soloing is the art of writing music, but doing so in the moment & as you accept that challenge you will have no choice but to improve each time you pick up the instrument & have a FOCUSED session. So IOW without sounding like an imbecile >>> it isn't enough to simply play a different scale then the one you are "thinking" of when really you are just playing another scale... you want to stand on the foundation of the scale & build a new house... & the MOST IMPORTANT LESSON OF ALL >>> ITS OK TO FAIL >>> that's the reason you practice alone... so you can FAIL & its no problem... you work things out when you are alone & challenge yourself to the max... that way when you are on stage & chamfer back the full tilt anarchy you end up sounding great & you are not simply playing scales & variations... you are being creative in the moment bcuz you have practiced that alone so doing it in public is much easier especially if you really push yourself in practice- then its easy when you hit the stage & your confidence is unshakable bcuz what you are doing is like checkers when you have been practicing chess!I hope this comment helped you as much as dude's video helped me.

    Couch Potato 10? Maybe a Stairway to Heaven style backing track. It's easy and everyone knows it.

    Thank you so much Anthony! Exercise 2 and 3 are hugely useful to me ! It's bizarre because I've played for almost 20 years now and was only familiar with these concepts thanks to my friend who is a jazz trumpet player !
    Thank you so much for this !! 😊
