  • Answer:

    I also play the fiddle and the some of the most common keys are D and G so I would practise those scales. All the others wouldn't hurt either but G and D will be the most useful. You can also do what they call "climbing the stairs". This is when you start on a note then skip to 2 ahead then go back 1 then skip ahead 2, back 1 and so on.
