Answer 2

Scales are really more useful for teaching you where the notes are around your root note. Start with the root note and play the major scale. This is for the purpose of getting to know where the 1-7 notes are around the root. All other scales are a modification of the major scale. For instance, if you know where the 1-7 notes are, it is very easy to play the pentatonic major and minor. 1,2,3,5,6 and 1,b3,4,5,b7 respectively. Depending on the chord progression, you can sometimes add the 2 and 6 in the minor pentatonic and of course the b5. The b3 for the major pentatonic sounds nice as well. Know where the major scale is relative to your root and then modify it. I have found the pentatonics to be a good base for improvisation. Its hard to go wrong with this scale. After a while doing this, you will begin to see where the other available notes are because you know where the major scale is at all times. Improvising over songs that change keys will require you to know where you are. A rhythym player that throws this at you or a chromatic progression can really confuse you if you don't know where you are on the fretboard. When this happens you can improvise over it if you know what the root note of the chord is and shift to the pentatonic for that root. Every scale is nothing but a chord played one note at a time.
