I am going to go against the grain here and say that learning scales is not right way about this if you are looking for phrasing ideas to fill your licks box. I know 6 ways of playing major scales, 4 minor, Modes off each major scale....shit I know a freaking pentatonic that goes from low open E to the 24th fret high E and unless you are going to go wide opne for the solo they alone will not help.
If have to know what notes to land on, for example you really don't want to land on the 7th note of a C major scale unless you hell " JAZZ FUSION NOTE!!" To hear this record a progression of strummed C chords and hit the B and see what happens.
Learning scales you will play with patterns and nothing wrong with that as many do this but they also know where to land. Say you hit that 7th note, your ears should react fast enough that you will bend a whole step up to nail the octave.
For ideas for phrasing I suggest listening to any 80s shredder, Neil Schon, Robin Trower, SRV, Joe bonamassa, just steal their freaking licks. You could also take a tape like Paul Gilberts Intense Licks and break down the licks or string them together to create lines.
For Vibrato listen to Schon, Sykes, Lynch, Trower and while playing scales stop at key notes like the 3rd, 4th, 6th and vibrato or just start and finish with one.
