On the guitar, scales are usually played by playing all of
the notes within one position of the neck. Technically an A
minor scale would only run from an A to an A note.

And technically if you were going to play a 2 octave Aminor
scale, it would be this.
But a lot of times when playing scales on the guitar, you will
want to play the full range of notes in one position. That means
that sometimes you will not be starting and stopping the scale
on the root. Though you should know where the roots are in any
particular scale fingering.
