One you know the scale pattern & formula, the shape it makes on the fretboard, then you can just move it up & down the and play in any key you want. You will of course have to know the note names at least on the low E string so you'll know which key you are playing in!
I strongly encourage you to go through Guitar Fundamentals 2 Chapter 1 in which I cover intervals & scales in detail from a total beginner perspective.

The pentatonic scales are useful, especially for guitar. But until you understand what a scale is & how it can be used those big box shapes just wind up being confusing & overwhelming to some beginners.Originally Posted by: UllRSo is it really possible to learn every scale for every note?
Yes, absolutely! And what you are referring to is covered in the GF2 lessons.
After you have a look at those basic scales & concepts, then have a look at my pentatonic tutorial. I provide the missing link in between fundamental scales & the pentatonic boxes that guitar players use so often. :)

So what should I focus on?
You should focus on basic understanding & skills of playing chords & scales in rhythmic time. That way you will be building your skill set so you can eventually learn to play the songs you love by those classic rock bands! :)
Also, please have a look at the Rock Course. It will show you all the tools you need to play those styles.

You've got to crawl before you can walk or run. :) Be patient with yourself. Take it one step at a time. It will be worth it if you put in the time & effort! :D
Ask more if necessary! And best of success!
