one thing that helped me learn and get better at alt picking was changing to a super soft pick. had been using jazz picks super stiff, now i use .71mm pick and my alt picking is better. i don't know if that's the right way or wrong way for learning it,but it's working for me.

i'll have to give the chromatic scale a whirl, maybe i'll put the blues scale on the back burner and focus on the pentatonic and chromatic scales, it's like starting all over really. knowing the blues scale does not help with the others!
