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?
!
