I'm working through the 5 patterns of scales. When I get to patterns where the lowest root note isn't on the 6th string, how do I practice those patterns? Should I just play root to root, or how do I go about playing all the notes from 1st to 6th string? For instance, the 3rd pattern of Am Pentatonic, root is on the D string, 7th fret, and the highest root is the 10th fret of the B string. I've just been playing root to root but I don't want to develop that habit if I should be playing everything in the pattern.

Thanks!
