Just a tiny correction before I try to help here,
you said that your work will be for nothing if you forgot all those patterns you learned. I can't agree,none work is for nothing, sooner or later you'll ran into things you played before and you'll feel happy,sort of.  Harmonic minor(pure as it is) IS tricky, if you overuse it you might start sounding like Malmsteen and that's all. My approach to every scale is always to visualize the whole fretboard. Good idea is to play each scale on every single string, that shows you where you're really at,distance between degrees etc. Learning all 7 boxes(3nps I guess) is pretty vertical stuff, we go up and down and up and down. Try to move horizontal as well, do some position jumping,make wider intervals, wider intervals always sound more melodic compared to step by step degrees. Those are some ideas that I'd apply if I were you, let me know if it helps and ask if I missed something.

QUOTE (JamesT @ Dec 9 2008, 09:22 PM)  I'd like to learn more about how to balance my practice efforts to achieve diversity when soloing and also when writing. That is probably a major task for every musician,trust me. It's about knowledge but also discipline, you need to know how not to cross the line in order to keep it musical interesting without playing only bunch of licks you've learned. I believe the point is to actually LISTEN to what your playing, try to look at it from a point of natural listener, this is very hard tho since we're taking our work pretty personal but we do need to a doze of self criticism,in a good way of course.
