As far as practicing scales, I have my students practice them in this manner:
Set the metronome at 60 and play 1. eighth notes--twice through the scale 2. triplets--three times through and 3. Sixteenth notes four times through.
When you can do all three rhythms without stopping, begin to increase the metronome speed.
You will almost immediately begin to notice the difference in your playing!

Guess I never thought of it that way. I guess the most important thing about scales, or anything else, is to see them all along the fretboard, and not just as cuts here and there. Because then you can see the real connections.
