1. Look in the course material. First up is GF2. Playing exercises that combine chords & scales are a helpful way to bridge those techniques & prepare you for doing it eventually in songs.

The first one is in C major, but the others are in A major & minor. Still very useful stuff.
The Rock course does some very basic building of licks from scales & chord tones.

Those aren't in C major but the same concepts apply across the (fret)board.
The blues course shows some great major scale licks. BB King uses the major scale quite often as the basis for his leads.

2. Look in my tutorials. This one shows how to play some simple licks using the ideas of the C major scale in different ways.

The last one uses some chromatic notes, but I clearly explain how to use C major as a visual reference point.
3. Play songs! The song Wild World has a big descending C major scale in between some chord strumming.
