Ok, I understand its not really a scale.
Other than helping to take standard notation from paper to the fretboard, whats it good for?
Natural Scale
If you are talking about all the natural notes in 1st position (meaning open to the 3rd fret on each string), it shows you all the white notes (piano lingo) in 1st position. It is not a scale because it starts on low E and ends on high G.
I really like students to be able to see the difference between black and white notes on the guitar, just as they would on the piano.
I will elaborate on this someday in a video lesson, probably, but let the speculation and discussions begin!

This discussion can get quite thoeretical and talk about solfege, fixed do and moveable do and the fact that that music scholars from different countries still don't agree . Some simply say that it is the singing scale Do re me fa sol la ti do .
What it does for me is to do my head in!!!

I can see how I can use it to find where to play notes from standard notation, and find chords with it also from standard notation, but other than that, knowing the neck and just great practice, I really don't see an obvious use for it. (As if great practice wasn't enough)
