Firebird:
For what I can see you're a blues oriented player. Sometimes you don't have to learn new "licks" but to get away from them a little. For example, some cool stuff from a lot of great blues players is just playing a single note or bending it a little. Remember that in blues, a bend or a hammer-on can be very emotional and most of all, varied.
Try mixing the major scale with the pentatonic and try to use modes when they sound good to you.
Cheers!
