These exercises, No. 11,12,13 - Scales for Classical Guitar, are all great ways for intermediate guitarists to practice scales. Although I've grouped all the exercises into one lesson you should practice each way very carefully.
No. 11 - Scale Exercise: Destination Points: This exercise on scale destinations is a step towards precision and control. It is expected that your basic hand positions are secure at this point so now you're aiming more quality placement with more relaxation and economy of motion. Treating each note in the scale as a final destination will help develop even, strong sounding, and confident scales. Working with destination points is similar to working on phrasing or difficult passages in your pieces. The goal is to reach each destination with a high quality and confidence.
No. 12 - Scale Exercise: Rhythmic Vitality: It is rare to actually see an entire scale with the same rhythm in your repertoire. Therefore, it makes sense to practice your scales in different ways to become versatile. I find that one of the best things about adding different rhythms to your scales is that it accentuates any problem you might have. For example, in a dotted rhythm exercise a shift in the left hand may occur during the fast rhythm. If you can execute the shift cleanly then you know you need to work on your shift.
No. 13 - Scale Exercise: Articulation and Dynamics: If you practice your technique in only one way you might end up playing like a robot. So, here's a chance to practice your expressive technique in a controlled setting. Make up your own articulations and dynamics to complement what I've provided. You may also wish to experiment with different timbres such as tasto (warm sound: right-hand near the fingerboard) and ponticello (bright sound: right-hand near the bridge). You can make similar changes to the sound by slightly adjusting the angle of the fingers on strings.
