Of course chords and scales are basicly the same notes, it is how you perceive them that influences your playing style. This can be a hot topic. I should add that that is just my opinion and if scales work for you then by all means go with what works. Scales never worked for me, I can see them all over the fretboard,but my fingers prefer to move with more freedom to just follow melody. Even when I am playing bits of scales,I am not thinking of them as scales.
