If you haven't already you should start in the Guitar Fundamentals 2 course. I cover scales from a total beginner perspective.

There are two parts to learning scales: physical & conceptual.

You need to learn the physical skill set of playing a series of one note at a time on the guitar in order to make single note melodic patterns (using scales of course!).

And you also need to understand how to use the pattern of a scale to create the sound you want. In GF 2 I start with the 2 most important scales: diatonic major & minor.

A great way to look at scales is that every other scale, from simple & widely used to complex & special purpose, is just some recombination of those basic scales. So you don't have to learn a billion scales. Just a few will take you very, very far!

The other thing to grasp is that scales & chords are just two different ways of playing the same thing: a group of notes on the guitar.

After you start getting the hang of the GF2 beginner scale exercises, then start to work on Anders's rock or blues courses. He does a great job of showing how to start making licks, riffs & melodies with very basic easy to understand scale patterns. And he uses chords often as a gateway into those ideas!

Yes, this is an absolute necessity! Start learning the notes of the fretboard immediately. If you already know how to name barre chords, then you've got a great start. Just use that knowledge to start working across to the other strings.

I do know that ever since I picked up a guitar 7 months ago i've been obsessed and I love it. Maybe some of you could direct me.

That's wonderful! :) Try the advice & links above. Ask more if necessary & best of success!
