#4 Drills to tighten things up . . .

Wow, seeing the diagonals makes things soooooooo much easier. I don't get lost moving my way around the fretboard, I can slide inside and outside of different shapes and I know exactly where I am on a piano keyboard. I still hit some wrong notes, though. Here's some stuff I'm gonna do to tighten things up:

1) visualize all box shapes in my head, starting with just the top octave of each shape. Will do this for major and minor pentatonic right now. My first goal is to tighten up playing "on top" of the diagonal.

2) practice horizontal sliding scales in each key. This involves spelling the scale in my head and then play it sliding to the left, or down starting at each root located on the diagonal.
