something else...back in the early 90s i read, i think in Guitar Player Mag, an interview with Pat Metheny (who I admire but sound nothing like and dont really listen to much anymore) who talked about practicing scales using 1 string only. Somehow this lesson crept into my playing the past 20 years. I cant tell you how much of an impact this approach has influenced my sound and approach to solos...of course as a result, im not much of a speed shredder, but, my leads are never dull when i mix the single string approach with the traditional scale (across multiple strings) approach.

Thinking some more about what you have done, I would also add that you could work on incorporating a bit more dissonance instead of playing ever note exactly at the point you think it should be, if that makes any sense
