Re: New to the guitar
Agreed. Playing songs is why any of us pick up the instrument.
I do see value in practicing scales and riffs/licks, but playing them
over tunes is where it is at.
Don't develop the habit of just running up and down scales.
As soon as you can play a scale without making mistakes, start making
music with it.
I would spend at least half my time practicing tunes, then the rest on
improvisation if that is what you are wanting from scales.
