Awesome post.
BTW, which are to be learnt first, the pentatonic scales or the major scales?

Consider my skills a beginner since i want to learn to play the right way.

Now that I’m relearning as an adult, however, I surprised myself with how useful I’m finding them to be — I know a fair amount about keys from playing other instruments and singing, so I started noodling around with scales just to have something not-too-demanding to play while I’m rebuilding my finger calluses, and they are *so* good for so many things. They give me something to build an exercise around when I want to working on picking skills, for instance, which would never have occurred to me when I was eleven, but I wish it had — it makes working on both skills more fun. I have a number of little mental games I like to play with them, like picking a random scale and a random string *not* to use, and playing the scale around that string, finding the notes I’d normally play on it elsewhere, which is great for learning the whole fretboard. If you find scales boring, work out how to play them in octaves (i.e., start a G scale on the low E 3rd fret and the open G string, played at the same time, then the open A string and the G string second fret, and so on) — finding the fingerings that you can do simultaneously can be tricky for some scales, and it’s a good fingerpicking exercise at the same time; you’ll definitely not find it dull.

Scales are a great tool; at some point it’s as if your fingers just know the scales and your mind is free to do other things, such as develop riff patterns for improvising.
