Scales, scales, scales. There's nothing better than practicing scales over and over to get the dexterity in your fingers to move through the board. Besides that, you'll get a better grip on where notes are on the fretboard in relation to others.

I know it sounds boring, but scales are a must-do. Seriously, trust me on this!

try playing your scales or solos in different ocatives on the neck this will help.

Um - just play higher than the sixth fret for a change.

Jeez.
