If you know a few cool licks, why not think about connecting them? Take a few minutes and think about how you could go from "that cool lick" which ends on a certain note to another cool lick just by for example putting a few notes between them.

To make it clearer, think about playing a little lick on the top 2 Strings and change it so the last note is on the third string and then repeat it.

Besides that I would listen to georgeking and learn some cool sequences, maybe start with going two notes up then one doen then two notes up again etc.

Now rock! ;)
