Whe most people start learning scales, and how to improvise,
useing the pinky, and getting it to do what you want it to do
can be very challenging. Here is a technique to help get your
pinky working on the fretboard. It is hard to play some of 
the faster picking if you don't use your pinky to play.

I will number your fingers on your left hand ( or right hand
if you are left handed ).

1 = Index Finger ( Pointer finger )

2 = Middle finger

3 = Ring finger

4 = Pinky finger


To play this scale, which is a chromatic scale pattern, make
sure you use the fingers nimbered on each note that corresponds
with the numbering above.


     1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 2 3 4   1 2 3
E||----------------------------------------0-1-2-3-|
B||----------------------------------2-3-4---------|
G||--------------------------2-3-4-5---------------|
D||------------------3-4-5-6-----------------------|
A||----------4-5-6-7-------------------------------|
E||--5-6-7-8---------------------------------------|


  
  3 2 1   4 3 2 1 4 3 2 1 4 3 2 1 4 3 2 1 4 3 2 1
--3-2-1-0---------------------------------------||
----------4-3-2---------------------------------||
----------------5-4-3-2-------------------------||
------------------------6-5-4-3-----------------||
--------------------------------7-6-5-4---------||
----------------------------------------8-7-6-5-||

This scale is also good for getting from one end of the fret
board to the other without stopping your flow.
