There are many ways that these exercises could be fingered and the fingerings (within the tablature stave) are only a suggestion. I would suggest beginning with the Major scale first if these kind of exercises are new to you, as that is the easiest scale to hear melodically and then you can move on to the other scale types. I usually play all these exercises with a pick and employing alternate picking, (i.e. downstrokes/upstrokes) however you could (with a little re-fingering) play these using other picking and fingering techniques to suit your own playing style. Working with a metronome is also a helpful aid in practising these exercises, however I would only suggest this if you are already familiar with the fingerings and locations on the fingerboard.
