Ehhh... scales are scales no matter what instrument you play them on. Are you looking for something in particular or exercises or what?

Have a read through this thread, you'll see plenty about scales there.

Most people seem not to use their baby finger a lot. Just make sure you're using it when you can. And the grip masters are really good. I really should start using mine more.
