Do Chords over and over again in rhythm,thats what I did, Do E,then D,then C,then G.........throw in an F here and there. Just keep practicing. It will keep your fingers agile.Copy some rock songs or whatever that sound easy to duplicate,I played some zeppelin songs. Also get good at doing power chords,if you dont know what that is have someone show you. Good luck.

Scales and chords are good to practice so you can learn the theory,but you should also find some exercises that will help with your agility and mobility around the fret board.Since this can get boring,try learning some of your favorite songs,even if it's just a part of them,this will keep you interested and encourage you to keep practicing and keep you out of the "rut".When you start to learn some tunes,you will also be training your ear that way you can later on easily identify the chords and root notes that they are played in.Try to apply some of the theory to the songs and identify the scales they are played in.Practicing requires a good balance of theory and improvisation.Practice everyday,even if it's only for ten minutes,eventually you'll be playing and wonder how the time slipped by and realize it's 2am.

It really depends on what music you're playing. If classical, you'll be picking more with your fingers. If metal, more alternate picking will be invovled which will take a lot more practice if you don't have much experience. Scales will definitely help on your dexterity, but start out with something simple. The better you get, find more complex ones. If you want to check out fascinating guitar players that exceed in speed and muscianship (in my opinion, although the speed is pretty much a fact), look for Michael Romeo, Yngwie Malmsteem, or John Petrucci. Michael is among my favorite, although speed has nothing to do with how good you are.

Practice your chords and combinations. Also, the more simple songs you get the hang of the faster you'll get and you can move on to better and more comlicated stuff.
