Major Scale Degree Roulette
Play through major scales starting on random scale degrees to break scale muscle memory.
Playing scales from the root can become rote muscle memory and you may not even know what notes you are playing or what notes are in the key. This exercise helps break that muscle memory down into separating the muscle memory association of always starting on root and exact fingers for notes.
