Stan, I've got to admit that I haven't been doing these exercises lately because I'm going through a non-vibrato period, but...
I believe that you should try to keep the routine as near to what Gary describes as possible.
Hey, don't under estimate the importance of major scales! The whole western system of music is built around them, in my opinion (IMO).
Music is like night and day.
It's these diatonic scales that provide the stability, or contrast, that makes altered scales and intervals sound so good.
