I'm at the same stage as you..i've been playing rythm for years and am starting to branch out and try more lead. I am starting by learning some more scales, and also trying to learn some solos and lead parts in songs that I like. It seems to be a good way to see how leads are developed and to get your fingers used to travelling the neck more. I am by no means where I want to be, but I find myself able to write much better lead parts in my own songs now, and hopefully I'll just keep getting better.
