Scales???
I really need some help learning new scales. I am so incredible tired of playing the same old pentatonic`s, harmonic and diminished. I see lot`s of people talk about the "box", but I can not figure out what that is. can anyone please explain?

I think you mean the blues "Box" ... it's famous licks or cliches in Blues or Rock music ... Since you play pentatonic I'm sure you do a lot of it in the Box , but you just don't know it. ;)
For learning new scales, try learning the modes of the Major/Minor , Harmonic min , Melodic min first and the Harmony theroy of chords and arpeggios .
If you already know these , you may like to experience some exotic scales ... I recomend the Double Harmonic as a start , it has a very cool Egyptian taste... Japanese , Gipsy & Hindu scales are very cool too.

play them sideways on two or three stings up or down the neck. If that gets boring. Tap them. Play them two notes up, and then start on the second original note and go up two more, then play this with three notes, and then do it really fast. Listen to Greg Howe and Blues Saraceno.
