All examples will be played in G major (E minor). I feel it's a waste of time to show you licks in all twelve keys on the guitar. Every scale and mode looks the same in different keys, the fingerings are the same so why bother. But, take the time to learn them in as many keys as possible. All examples can be applied to other scales if you feel daring, like Diminished, Whole Tone, Melodic Minor, Composite II scale and many others.

Remember to always warm up before attempting to play fast. Practice each pattern slowly before going full speed and at any time your hands start hurting or feel like they a straining while playing, stop! Don't push your fingers to the limit. I've seen many guitar players do this and they end up with swollen hands or worse. Give your hands time to recuperate after a heavy practice session. And always drink lots of water. I always hear doctors saying to drink water while exercising. So, why not while playing guitar. Your body needs water so drink up!
