That is the response I was expecting as far as the traditional fingering for major scales. I am not postive, but aren't there other boxes for major scales based on the style of fingering you just explained to me? I'm sorry to keep answering posts with more questions, it's just that I want to progress as fast as I can with my technique so that I can focus more on theory, the real meat and potatoes! The book I referred to is one of the guitar grimoire series books, this particular book focuses mainly on economy picking technique and the F Maj scales. It also includes chromatic exercises, but I practice those all the time with more variations than the book. It's just a tool, but if I am learning unusable technique and bad habits, then it will be stowed away for later use.
