Yeah, I generally use tabs, since my recognition of notes SUCKS. I can recognise a G, and when chords are minor. Nothing else.
By studying scales I mean I'm learning where the notes on the scale are and imprinting the intervals into my fingers. Meaning right now, I can not pay attention at the guitar while practicing scales, and still manage 90% of the scale without fuckups.
I know like...one blues lick. And I don't even do it properly, really. If I knew where to start learning licks from, it would help. Also, improvisation and me...we don't get along. I have the creative ability of a rock.

A decade ago, I never thought I would be, at twenty-three, on the verge of spontaneous combustion. Woe-is-me.
