That's great! This is exactly how everyone should practice scales.

I have said this a million times - use jam tracks and be creative with the notes. Playing scale from the lowest note to the highest is not enough. You need to be able to do something with the scale, and unfortunately many people skip that part.

You are on the right track here.

Next thing you should focus is finding the chord tones for the chords you are playing over. It's still the same scale, so you are not only practicing the scale and its patterns - you are learning the chord tones (triads) - the really important notes! They are the sweet notes that make it sound like you know what you are doing.

Wow that's brilliant practicing,. I love how you start out with the basic playing,  then your soul cuts in and takes control,  hitting some of the sweet notes,  then back into the hard labour (WHICH IS ESSENTIAL!). 

Great post.  There should be more !

That's The Ticket!  Nice work playing musically, getting the feel and making those scale notes real, rather that rote and redundant.  Let that vibe take you to where the notes belong to you. 

We players are artists.

Thanks for the nice tips guys and Thank You Robert for the explanation for studying Triads , the chord tones. I will look at it to study those. See where it gets me. 🙂

For the moment I work on Your "Easy Blues" (its not that easy). see my post about that.
