Please.. Pentatonic is the coolest there is.

But okay, learn the pentatonic (major and minor) and then learn some spanish gypsy scale (there are several, I believe).

That's all you'll ever need. :wink:
Pentatonic scales are really cool to play but the ones I like more than those are Jazz scales. Jazz scales are alot of fun! 8)
By jazz scales you probably mean modes :)

I'm really confused. What does it mean to practice scales.

Like C Major. I looked it up here: http://www.looknohands.com/chordhouse/g ... ex_rb.html

In what order do I play the notes? There are so many, just seems like a mess of random notes everywhere.
