umarboy,
That's the exact reason why you should be using scales! When you learn scales, you also need to know where the notes are. In order to play the right key (ie A, E, Am, Dm, etc.), you must know where your root note is--and at which fret!
Of course, one can come up with riffs and licks that sound good. But, often cannot be repeated! Knowing how to play licks within a certain chord/key will help you make music! Not just noise!
