You can't go wrong sorting out some basic scales like you've done, and doing them every day. A good thing to do is to pick a bunch of songs which use these scales, work out what the artists were aiming for, why they used that scale/riff/lick and what effect they acheived. Especially if that effect happened to be "totally kicking ass". Anyway, I was trying to make a point when I started typing this, and I'm pretty sure that point was - "it's all well and good to be able to whip out these scales, but one should know how and why to use them to create an effective piece". You probably already knew this. This pretty much sums up my philosophy of guitar playing.
