Hey rapter, I don't know a lot about guit method but my 'tutor' for 6 months taught me in the 3 notes per string scale style. I think he believed it was an easier method to build speed for someone who was just starting scales. I don't think either is necessarily a better way to learn them. The only thing I can say is a lot of method books assume you're learning the other way and once in a while an illustration doesn't come across as easily because I'm familiar with the '3 per' method. That's a rare case though. I might be inclined to practice both because the more you can do with your left hand the better. If it's too confusing then go with which way feels better and fly with it. Scales are now coming kind of slowly for me ( as I stopped taking lessons) but I'm plugging away... I also want to learn the chord shape lead methods that they're talking about on this site. The more weapons I can get the better... I would still like to take more lessons because the scale info came easier when I was coached by someone who knew what they were talking about... Bones
