So, recently I decided I wanted to dive into the guitar and really learn how it works to both play better and add lead melodies to music. I know that learning scales is probably the best way to do this, but I have found very, very few free websites out there that could give me any help without telling me stuff I already know. I found one that showed me all the chromatic notes on the neck up to fret 12, as well as some common finger patterns for scales. I've been working with the neck trying to commit to memory the notes A through G from octave to octave on each string. I was wondering if there are any other useful sites or things I should keep an eye out for or maybe some advice from those who have already learned this?
My next stop will be learning the pentatonic scales, but that's not going to be for a while yet.
