A tip...

At first it's tempting not to use your pinky finger when playing scales. I made
that mistake as a kid (self taught). It's hard to retrain the fingers later.

ill second that...

Yup. That's why its very good to take some lessons from a good teacher
early on, they'll point out your bad habits and get you on the right
track. I am amazed at the number of teachers who don't even bother
helping students develop the picking hand, and when I play guitar with
other people, see picking styles that range from not economizing
motion, to plain horrendous.
