I need someone to give me a thorough explanation of guitar scales. I've read around the internet but its still confusing me. A link to a site with more about it would also be helpful. Anything that you could tell me about music theory also would be appreciated.

Hi summer12!
Can you be a bit more specific? What are your immediate goals?

The long and the short of it, guitar scales enable the guitar to glide through the water and also provide protection. They are common on most guitar fish and come in many different colours.

Could be a lot of answers to that all depending on the person and what they were hoping for. What was the line from that movie... Don't ask question you don't really want the answer to.

I weigh guitars on a regular scale.
But, if you're talking about fingering scales on guitar, there are a lot of different approaches.
Three approaches worth examining are the Segovia Scales (which include some interesting position shifts that jazz guys don't usually mention), Jimmy Bruno's approach (I got it from him -- I don't know if he originated it) and Chuck Wayne's approach. Jimmy and Chuck finger things differently. Warren Nunes also had an approach, which I recall somewhere in between.
They all work. And remember, whatever you do, the bottlenecks are eventually going to be in the picking hand.

Repeat after me: you can tune a piano, but you can't tune a fish, even though it's got scales ...
