Lead without a pick please!!

I prefer to use fingers only and no pick so I was hoping that someone might address this subject in some of the lessons?? They might also tell me what way to practice scales so I can get used to using fingers only for lead. At the moment I practice scales using the thumb on 6,5&4 and the fingers (i and m) for the high strings. Is that correct or is there a better way??? The aim is to use whatever method will stand to me when I play electric blues lead guitar with fingers only.
ps I am an intermediate + player at the moment.
Thanks in advance

Here's some stuff to look at.

I never used to fingerpick my stuff but have recently become more comfortable with it. In addition, I would check out Laurence Juber (used to be in Wings). Fantastic and otherworldly but he also has lesson DVD's.

Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits is known for playing only with fingers. You should have a look on his technique.

I prefer to play without a pick and developed it through finger picking an acoustic most of my life. It does have some limitations when playing rock music but it is a skill well worth developing.
