It is common for enthusiasm to get away from people new to P.T. I think it is the sense of relief for people who have struggled with scales and modes. If you read some of my posts, I keep saying it is not scales VS chords. There is no reason to unlearn scales.
P.T. will show you how scales fit in to the overall layout of the guitar and offer you more freedom of note choices. It will help you see chords and scales as a seamless whole.
There is an element of retraining your fingers if you have spent countless hours running scales on auto pilot. P.T. is all about thinking about what notes your playing. With scales, it is the same thing. You need to be able to think of notes outside of the scales and have your fingers go there. The goal is after all, to have complete freedom of the fretboard whether you favour scales, chords or a blend of both.
