Hey mate and welcome too GMC.
We all suck in the beginning, and some of us still do
Sounds to me like you need to slow down your playing and start thinking about your picking and fretting. Also make sure you're doing alternate picking constantly untill you got it down. And play as slow as you need to make sure every note sounds as it should. IF you try to speed it up you will pay for it later with sloppy technique.
To learn scales, simply play them slowly up and down, using strictly alternate picking and just do that untill you know where all the notes are.
Just give it time and it will come.
