[QUOTE=Pobodys_Nerfect;682081]The biggest thing that you need to learn is how to accurately alternate pick. It's a little late tonight, but tomorrow I can tab out some scales for you as well as some other exercises such as alternate picking the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, fret on each string.[/QUOTE]

That's what I ussually do, but make sure you do it to a metronome. For finger strength I also fret the 1st string 1st fret, pluck it, then hammer on with a combination of fingers. I will go down the neck this way and then instead of hammering on I will pull off. This excersise was extremely useful for devoloping my finger strength.

So for example
1 finger (pluck)
2 second finger (hammer on)
3 third finger (hammer on)

Then vary the combinations (124, 134, 234, 12, 23, 34, 1234, 14, 13 etc)
