Check out my Scales Introduction lesson for some insights on this ...
Basically, when we practice scales it is important to train our ears to the sound of the scale, so at first, starting on the root note is a must or you will train your ears to hear a different scale. When you are confident with the sound of the scale, you will have the root note locked into your brain so it is less important. When actually playing or improvising, always starting with the root note is very restrictive - you should be able to start on any note you like that is in the scale so that you don't limit your options. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
