How to read guitar scales?

Question

I found a site that shows an entire fretboard for each scales and I'm not sure how to read it. After looking for a while i figured out you probably have to start from the root note and finish to the next root note. Also i saw that it was all a sequence of 8 notes in between each root notes. Am i right, and is there something else i need to know to read these scales?

Answer 1

You are dead right. In each scale, their are 7 notes and the 8th note is the repetition of the first but one octave higher.

Their are 2 1/2 octave range on a guitar. There is no special way to read b-cuz the scale of the guitar is mostly written for 2 octave exercises.

Answer 2
