Chromatic scale is very often used, as an intermediate effect between two notes, or as a long appogiatura, or simply as a typical fast lick, or - it must be said - to find one's way back to the music after mistakes in the improvisation. The tough point is to keep a regular pace, especially as far as glissandos are concerned, so that every note is picked distinctly. Whichever the start and end notes may be, it is recommended to play at the top of the neck whenever possible. Chromatisms can be played very fast once the movement is mastered (which is not my case).
