Hello All,
Just wondering what other people do: When practicing my scales, One thing I do in addition to Ted's four finger exercises/tortures is a take off on the Segovia scales I learned in college. I play the major, followed by the relative minor around the circle of fiths. As you can imagine I can play C, G, D ect...much faster than the flats...Do you? Would you? play the easier scales at a faster tempo because you can and then dial the metronome down for the closed scales, until you can get them up to speed? Or would you keep everything at the same tempo?
Thanks
