I thought there was a thread around here that Robert started regarding scales, but I couldn't locate it. So I guess I will start one or start a new one.

I've been working on scales for the last couple of weeks and then using BT's to apply them. I was just curious on how many people in the days they were starting and later, practiced scales? I know I've read people comment (not necessarily here, that scales are a waste of time. However, the more I practice them, the more I see the need for them. Once you apply them to a BT, they really aren't that boring as some people claim.

Right now I am just wrapping up the five positions of the minor pentatonic scale.

So, any thoughts and or comments about working/practicing scales?
