There is a better philosophy to guitar scales than what most guitar teachers will say. The usual route of learning them is to memorize them in shapes on the fretboard. The problem with this approach is that for every new scale you have to learn multiple patterns up and down the fretboard to really be able to play the scale anywhere. At the same time, you usually don’t know what notes you are actually playing with this philosophy, it is all just a visual shape to you.
A better approach is to build scales by interval. If you can understand each interval and put them together one at a time to create whatever scale you want, you have a much more flexible and powerful understanding of the guitar. This method will require you to play and digest things slowly at first, but after a while, all of the intervals become familiar to you, and you can start creating whatever types of guitar scales that you want. It also works the same way for chords and anything else that you play.
Intervals are often ignored by guitar players and teachers. People usually go straight to playing some basic chords and scales, but this is premature if you don’t understand the intervals that make up those chords and scales. Spend some time with the intervals first philosophy and see how it can improve your knowledge of the instrument and music in general. For anyone interested in philosophy in general, there are some great philosophy t shirts at this site by the way.

Many guitar players do not give much notice to their truss rod cover, but it can be a great part of the guitar to upgrade and customize. Usually this small piece of the instrument is just used by guitar manufacturers to display their trademarks and model numbers. The actual function of the part is to cover the opening that lets you adjust the truss rod in the guitar neck. Since no one really wants to see lame model number information on a plastic cover, the truss rod cover is a great part to have switched out for a customized one.

Guitar chord charts can be a helpful tool for a music composer. The best way that they can help is by outlining exactly what chords need to be played on the guitar. Notes can be played in multiple places on the guitar and this means that chords can be formed in a few different ways. Even though a major chord may be played in a few different voicings, these voicings will produce slightly different sounds. The problem this could pose for a music composer is that if the guitar player plays an unexpected voicing, it could throw off the tonal intentions of the piece.
