Alright, so I've designed a new practice routine to help me memorize and play through my scales and the associated arpeggios. And, most importantly, recognize which interval is where in each shape.

Here is the routine:

Pick a key to focus on for the entire practice session, for example: G

Write the notes out: G a b C D e F# G

Select two adjacent patterns (i.e. Major scale patterns 3 and 4, or the "G" and "E" CAGED shapes.

Play the chord shape associated with that pattern.

Play the scale for pattern one in thirds (Thanks, Christopher!), slide up to the next pattern, repeat descending.

Play the arpeggio triads of interest (i.e. 1, 3, 5) in each scale.

My question is, would it be more beneficial to sing the note names or the intervals or use solfege.

The major benefit of singing the note names would help improve my speed of knowing exactly which note I'm on, which will be useful when expanding outside of the major/minor scales.

Singing the interval or solfege would be useful for moving these shapes to the other keys and instantly recognizing where the intervals are in relation to one another, no matter the key. I.e. The 5th is usually directly above the root note, except between the third and second string. Or the 3rd is one string and one (or two, if a minor 3rd) lower than the root.

Has anyone done something similar and can talk me through your thought process?

Thanks!
