Break them up and play them in 2nds, 3rds, 4ths etc. Play them in 3/4/5 note groupings. All on 1 string, over 2 strings etc. 1 and 2 octaves with different fingerings. Start on the lowest scale note and work all the way up to the highest over the entire 'board. Harmonise the scale by playing double stop 10ths. If you do all that for all keys, major and minor, ascending and descending, and you've got hours/days of excellent exercises. Then do the same with arpeggios. You might not find that exciting, but it beats running a one octave scale with standard fingering, and the benefits are immense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
