try doing the frets 1-2-3-4-4-3-2-1 a lot on all the strings and keep trying to get faster and faster (I believe that's an Yngwie technique)
Try playing Wonderwall//Oasis
One//U2
Beverly Hills//Weezer
My Name Is Jonas//Weezer
Smells Like Teen Spirit
A, B, C, D, E, F, G major and minor scales and arpeggios are good.

Download, 'I'll melt with you', by Modern English. Learn the (2 chord) strum (C & F). It will teach you a good fast rythem.
The C scale is very very helpful. Play it AS FAST AS YOU CAN with being 100% accurate. Also, put your four fingers on four sequential frets on a string and play starting with your pointer finger and then middle, ring, pinky, then move your whole hand up a fret and play the four again, move your hand up to the octave then reverse the process. you can skip any finger too to make it different. When playing the C scale, play every other note to mimic how many rock, blues, and jazz solos are played. That will really help you, good luck
I have been playing guitar for 25 years. I learned by picking song that were easy to pick up on and getting videos and tapes of them. Practice is the best teacher. Regardless of what anyone tells you believe that.
.
The exercise I did when I was first learning was the 4 note per string exercise. What you do is play the first 4 frets on each string in order with each finger. Once you get the the last string, you move your position up one fret and then do the exercise in reverse back down the strings.
stretch your fretting hand before you play. you can do this by laying your hand out flat and one at a time move each finger to the center of your palm. one at a time tho or it wont work.
