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!

Blues scales, various jazz scales, scales influenced by ragas or the countless other music traditions from around the world, microtonal scales, nonstandard tunings like fifths/DADGAD/DADF#A, scales with different fingering and picking patterns to increase movement speed in different directions, scales that are adjusted to use or avoid open strings because of the effects on ornamentation/drones/other techniques, scales that include sweeping sections or are entirely composed of sweeping arpeggios, etc.
