I don't need explainations of scales, modes, intervals, etc., but where I really really really need input is on actual fingerings for the major scales. I use the alternate major fingering patterns to work on my economy picking (right out of the adam kadmon exercise book). So the big question is....(all you shredders need to give me feedback)... when playing for example the first three notes of the F major scale starting on the low e string, should I use my index, middle, and pinky for the strech between 1,3,5, or should I use (uncomfortable for me, but if it's the best way then i'll adapt) my index, ring, and pinky for the 1,3,5? This W,W interval occurs in every pattern, so I want to know what fingers should be used. If I've confused everyone too much now i will show an example of what fingers i use to play the major scale (alternate) pattern 1
EX1. what I do now} EX2. what is in the book}
1-3-4{E} 1-3-4
1-3-4{B} 1-3-4
1-2-4{G} 2-3-4
1-2-4{D} 2-3-4
1-2-4{A} 1-3-4
1-2-4{E} 1-3-4
Help!!!!!!!, I can't move to the minor scales until I have gotten the right fingerings for the major scale patterns up to a good speed.
