Work on chords and try some of the finger style lessons. There is more to guitar playing than scales.

Put together an arsenal of different practice regimens. See some of the previous posts in this forum or the 'playing guitar' forum for suggestions. That way you can find something that you feel like doing when you don't particularly feel like doing something else on a given day.

Hi Alex--
Work on playing chords and finding the melody come from inside the chords. Welcome to the forum.

Its ok to learn scales first. Thats how I did it. But that's mostly because I was comming from a classical piano background.
