Topic: Started practicing scales

Helping with my picking already.  I've already got a base practical knowledge of scales from my bass playing, but using good form and trying to do it sloooooowly and gradually increase speed is already helping me to gain precision in my picking.  In five or ten years, I may even be able to play a solo. 

Anyway, kudos to Jerome and Russel who have consistently said "practice scales" pretty much every time I bring a question forward.  Ends up, the advice is right on target.
