Paul Gilbert's Guitar Scale Exercise

"The world would be such a better place if people practiced their scales like this!" - Paul Gilbert
Aside from being a world famous rock star, Paul's been teaching guitar for a long time and knows what works and what doesn't. What he's referring to here of course is that muted down/up stroke between notes, what he likes to call the CHICKA (pronounced just as it sounds… say it with me now: "Chick-Ah").
Most guitarists have heard about the Pentatonic Scale and how important it is in Rock music. Well this exercise is even MORE important because it's something you can actually use in a song. And, it's a lot more fun to practice your scales this way.
