hey, hope it's ok to change the op topic but since all the guitarists are here, i've got a music theory question-

as of a few weeks ago i've been practicing my scales a lot, >1.5 hours/day and i LOVE practing and learning them. currently focused on the blues scale, in all keys.

but it's raised a lot of questions for me-

why are scales so important?

what are the benefits of practicing and learning the scales?

in fact, who even created scales and the rules for them? ( i wiki'd this and the wiki is confusing to me)

what the hell is a phrygian mode?

who is dorian?

which scale should i incorporate in my practice sessions after the blues scale?

should i take the time to study the theory behind scales or just learn the application?

!
