Sorry if this seems bothersome.  :)

I'm learning the finger positions from the charts on this site, amongst other things, these lead to questions...

1.) When I looked at the minor scale charts, I got confused, isn't there three minor scales? How do you use them? How would I practice these? What IS THAT LITTLE TRICK TO THE MINOR SCALES THAT LEAVES NEW PEOPLE LIKE ME UTTERLY CONFUSED?! Even after that, I'm still clueless as to how I would go about knowing which chords that are going to be used etc, the chords from harmonic minor? Melodic minor? what exactly?

2.) And about the arpeggios, where is the 7th ones at?

3.) Are the finger positions different for playing chords?

4.) Is there a wonderful site that exists in this universe that has all the fingers known to man for arpeggios, chords, and scales so I can learn my basic fingering's and get them out of the way already?

5.) I practice the scales I know (which are a few major scales) HS, should I practice them HT too? I found that when I attempted HT Practice of the scales I knew that I found it somewhat difficult, should I atleast "get it down", then "leave it alone?"

6.) What of chromatic scales?

thx alot. I know scales and chords and arpeggios are pretty pointless to learn without the actual music and stuff, But I can't even approach any sheet music, not even the level 1 sheet music on these sites because I don't know the fingers, the charts on this site are very nice, and i'm learning alot from them, but I'm already nervious because it dosn't have all of it, I just can't live wihout that sense of closer. >:(
