Everyone is talking about how much they practice their scales in their "daily practice." If it's a chore to you and has no practical application, don't waste your time, play something you like. The only reason I know a few minor and major scales is because I like to improvise. When it comes time to solo, I know what to play because I know what notes are in the scale. If I didn't know any scales, I'd be lost. It also make a lot more sense if you practice with some backing track/chords cause then you can figure out what sounds good. This also applies to playing piano, lets say I want to play some minor sounding progression, I'd most likely play A minor because all the white keys are in the A minor scale which makes it easy to create a melody.
