You can certainly play whole songs with arpeggios but the purpose of scales is to use as a guide rather than trying to hit every single note of the scale. For example, you can play the chromatic scale only knowing the pentatonic. In a single note played on any instrument contains overtones of the pentatonic scale. All these notes are consonant to the note thus when playing notes outside of the scale you can resolve to notes that are consonant.
If you play guitar than this tutorial will make sense out of it.
Metal is actually how I started out to or at least for guitar. I played the flute in, middle school and high school and that is about all the schooling I did in music. They hardly taught me anything about music theory though. I just graduated with an IT degree. Because of my background in science and math, I'm a huge believer that the music notation system needs to change. Music notation was originally designed for one scale in one key. From there on it became a mess when they added other scales. In fact, I'm actually more into the new numbering system designed in the 60's where everything is numbered off of the major scale. Here is a poor tutorial I made over it if you're interested in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izIBxQiYPEw&t=7s
I have like over 3000 downloads on opengameart and that's about it.
I barely have any users on my SoundCloud because I do not perform at shows or advertise myself.
I'm not a professional musician I'm more of a programmer. Music is just a hobby for me. I used to be a professional musician when I was in highschool. I used to be lead guitarist of my old church.

No that's not me. We just have the same name. I've seen her on TED Talk and on Soundcloud. This is me.

I make games for fun too. This is my most recent game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwLqmB
Making games is the reason why I make music for this site.
