Once I have the patterns down, is it a good idea to practice my scales without looking at the fretboard?
Once youāve got a pattern down you donāt really want to be looking at your hands. You also want to able to use the pattern in a musically context before learning the next pattern.

Hi group. I am now confident with all 3 mj scalesā¦ā¦and want to buy Justinās blues backing tracksā¦.i know these tracks sound great with the x2 pent scales Iāve learned but do they work with these 3 mj scales? Do these three mj scales work well with blues? Do the riff last we now learn ok to play with the my scales?
