Cool! I guess there needs to be a way for people to share new lessons to practise, it gets complicated with copyright pretty fast.

For real "lessons" you'd probably need to start at chord progressions, go into scales and how the chords relate back to those, then move to these types of soloing technique lessons.

AlphaTab is the star here https://github.com/CoderLine/alphaTab - it's been maintained tirelessly for years by Daniel Kuschny.

I've started to build this type of lessons sitea few times in the past and never really got it together enough to release anything. I've done scale/chord/arpeggio tools: https://github.com/webprofusion/scalex

What do you need "scales" practice for on guitar? It's a totally relative instrument except when playing on empty strings, so there's only one "scale" pattern that you have to learn. It's nothing like a keyboard!

Scale patterns on a guitar are optimized for A: starting (lowest note 1) on a particular finger on a particular string and B: not sliding your hand up and down too much. For example, I know five major scale patterns: two start on the first string, two on the second, and one on the third.
