There does not seem to be a way to upload an example diagram if needed but I will provide if requested where possible. I have only recently done this after finding this awesome site and it started to become easier to see how the scales fit in and how much better and more enjoyable playing with the backing tracks can be. The scale is just a pattern to follow but it does help to have a diagram of a fretboard showing the notes from 1st to 12th fret. I then used a note program like MS OneNote to place a screenshot of the scale from this site and then inserted the fretboard pic I had created under the scale diagram so it’s easier to see where all the notes are and where the root notes are. One of the best ways I have found to help work out where the root notes are and where to start the scale (the meaning of “Root is on 6th or 5th string” with the scale instantly became obvious), was to mark up a rudimentary picture of a Keith Urban Player poster I had (google under images for other examples a not everyone will have the pis), cropping out the fretboard showing the natural note locations. I am a beginner but have noticed a lot of people asking similar questions about scales that I also got stuck on for a long time. It’s such great and helpful information that has unlocked a lot of the mystery. I have come a long way since visiting this site a few days ago. I would also recommend learning the anatomy of your guitar, simply for the sake of maintenance – such as when you need to replace strings, or if you ever want to upgrade your pickups. Truly excellent guitarists don’t neglect the rudiments. But you can’t let them dominate your practice. They are definitely the fun stuff for beginners. Tablature (tabs) help you learn how to play what other people play. But for the basics, you definitely need to start with learning chords and scales. Blues, jazz, rock and metal all have different sounds and require different skills. To be “an excellent guitarist,” you first need to determine what kind of music you want to play. Even still, those few made the world of difference. I am mostly self-taught, but took a few lessons early on (and by a few, I mean three). I’ve been playing for about fifteen years now. Congratulations You made it to my Free Neck Diagrams portion of the site. They can always teach you something you didn’t realize you needed to know. It can take some practice to get it just right.I agree with Greg on getting a good instructor. Adjust your finger position until you're no longer doing that. If one of the strings buzzes or sounds muffled, that means one of your fretting fingers is also touching that string. Then pluck each of the 6 strings and listen to the sound.
