Been practicing the first position for learning the major scales and with the fingering that is recommended I'm getting so frustrated just trying to getting the baby finger to play as it is so weak compared to my other fingers. Playing the 2 and 4 position the rest of my fingers coming flying off the neck and just hover prolly about 2" up in the air. This is so slowing down my already turtle pace in learning this position. I did studied Jasons miminal finger movement but it seems that my index and my 1st finger come to life and won't lay close to the neck. How can I get them to do what I want them to do. They certainly don't listen to me! lol

Hi all,first post so here goes. Am currently working on A minor pentatonic,got up to 16ths at 92bpm so far, in first position straight up and down. Was wondering should I be working on random changes,thirds ,four in a row etc at the same time so they all build up speed together? So many thanks for this site Justin, wish I had found it years ago, its all so clear and your style /presentation is great too.

You mean chromatically? If so, it wouldn't hurt or if you're bored go for it or if you need a challange.

Hi sl8sh,thanks for reply.Not sure I understand what you mean by chromatically.I was referring to the scale practice routine,but having re-read it,it says master one before moving on to the next. Thanks again

Your welcome. I was thinking of finger motion vs intervals so, sorry for the confusion.

Can anyone tell me where the mp3 backing tracks are located on the site. I am using the DVD for the Major Scales and want to practice with it. Justin said were on the site, but I cannot find it. Many thanks, John

I would like to know if there is a cetain method how to strum one snare lower while practicing the scale in alternating mode? Because if you strum down and then go one string lower, should you strum down or up at that one?
