That is how I personally teach scales in my tutorials.

Keep in mind that all music is played like this. All guitarists do this either implicitly or explicitly. When someone plays a certain pattern on the guitar, it's because they expect it to sound a certain way. To the degree they are competent & effective, all music teachers imply this idea. But, some teachers (me included) make this concept explicit.

The images on those sites are accurate; the patterns are correct. But they don't include the most important piece of infomation: the scale degrees.

I am not trying to make this a big tricky secret or mystery. The concept is simple but widely applicable. Look at this image:

Now, look at the image I attached. See the difference? My image shows the scale degrees. That is what I focus on when teaching. Learn to see, play & hear the scale degrees & you are really playing, hearing & understanding musical intervals on the guitar. Not just patterns of dots with no explanation as to why the dots form the patterns they form, etc.
