FINGERING EXERCISES (1)
This exercise is good once you know all your scales, it's a useful way of playing the scales but with short 4 note groups that are less boring to practice and often more useful for improvising. Practice this in all keys, you will need to adapt slightly to fit, but try to cover the entire range of the instrument not just from tonic to tonic. Try it with harmonic and melodic minor too. When practising the melodic minor it's more useful for jazz to use the ascending version for both up and down. Makes life easier too.
