gm jack	Learn theory in general. Scales are mearly a part of them that can be practically applied. Understanding helps application. Also, work on speed and deterity exercises.

HoldYourColour	I used to be in that position, but I found the studying of scales helped me out. If you have Guitar Pro 5, I suggest it to anyone who plays bass or guitar. It gives you all the positions for scales, and it tells you exactly what you can play within a key. Just the other day I looked into Phrygian Mode and Phrygian Major, and I'm making riffs no problem just from using Guitar Pro.
