If you have the pentatonic scale down and modes down then you could start on your major scales, and different fingering positions of each key. Theres also differnt styles of practicing the minor pentatonic that come in handy as well. Different techniques of picking you can incorporate into your play using any of these scales. For instance knowing when to rake the strings amidst a solo, and things like that. I'm not sure exzactly where your at learning wise or how much you prefer to advance, but the possibilities are endless really. I'm getting to where I almost know what sound a certain string is going to make without always focusing on what key I'm playing in. Venturing unknowingly into the major from the pentotonic while soloing from simply experimenting so many times. Of course their will be plenty of hicups, and it doesn't happen overnight, but I'm getting to where I can fumble along out of just the pentatonic, and make it sound decent. After so much repetition over weeks, months, years I'm finally expanding, and developing my repertoire enough to where I can combine the two along with some of the modes, and it not sound forced or thought out. Meaning I'm not thinking as hard about where I want to go next, and if its the right fret or scale or mode. Still I'm nowhere near where I'd like to be, and don't practice as much as I should anymore. Whenever I do think I've achieved something I youtube something to humble myself cause no matter what the song or style of whatever I've just learned. There is always somebody out there who will blow your mind and make you feel like its your first day on guitar after you've heard them play.
