I just made up little exercises in each box and it helped me learn them fast.. then i added boxes to my exercise... Just start playing around with one box and make up some pattern that sounds cool to you.. then expand it to the other boxes, do one for each box, then try to expand the exercise to all the boxes.. Hope this helps, but id be interested to see what muris has to say about how he learned them too... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

To be honest, I can remember how did I learn certain scales cause it was pretty long time ago. I guess I started with a box or two and than expanding it over whole fretboard. I know I did play tons of scales but mostly as a picking exercises or som, tho at the same time I was memorizing fingering as well. And after a while you're actually thinking about 7 notes only (or 5 if it's pentatonic scale) cause you know where those notes are on the whole fretboard,any string. So my answer to your question is almost like repeating your words. learn it one position,expand to whole fretboard but be sure to hear how different types of scales sound.

Play the seven boxes up and down until you know 'em by heart. that's really the best way. I learned them in one night, and I never forgot either. sorry to butt in Muris Bet you've become too experienced to remember this anyway :P You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
