What's an open scale?
If you want to learn all the scales and chords, learn the CAGED system - it's a great way of understanding how chords and scales fit all over the fingerboard of the guitar. You can apply it to major chords, minor chords, all the different 7, 9, 11, 13 and altered chords too, and fit the scales around them, starting with major and minor pentatonics, chord arpeggios, major and minor scales and working up to modes of the major and minor scales.
Lots of resources on the Net, just do a search.
If you want to expand your chord voicing vocabulary, there's a great video on Youtube describing the Berklee system - I think it's called 1200 chords in 6 minutes or something.
