When you learn a new scale learn to spell it. Plot the notes on the guitar fretboard chart.This is a static snapshot of all the routes you can take on the fretboard for this scale family.View each string as a keyboard and now consider 6 parallel ones.When you plot the most significant scales and study them slowly like this,you will generate your own lexicon of voicings and licks that will be your very own. e.g.take the melodic minor (1,2,b3,4,5,6,7) and plot it in any key.Sequence the notes intervallically,screw with the rhythm,and enjoy the sound. Play the scale on every single string and then add notes from the adjoining strings to have the scale move in diads,triads,chords etc.This will cement the sound.I love mixing all these devices to make sounds, hope it makes sense.The guitar as an instrument starts out being very visual,it has to become embedded.This is the goal :). Am playing a small gig tomorrow in Pune and will give you a few more ideas when I'm back in the night. Do have a fun time practicing :)
