An example of horizontal movement using the 6-note patterns
Here is an example of how you can move up the fretboard on the 5th and 6th string in the key of C major. We start out using a Lydian pattern and move up to the 24th fret (Ionian pattern). This is just an example of how you can move around freely in horizontal motion (up and down). Practice this on all strings and combine this approach with the vertical position playing approach and also with playing on only one string at a time.
Note that since we are using a 6-note pattern but the whole sequence consists of regular 16th notes we have to increase the number of notes to two 8-note patterns in the way I have done it here (but you can also do it in any other way that sounds pleasing to your ears). Basically you will end up getting 16 16th notes per pattern which gives a very rhythmic grouping of one pattern per measure (or 4 notes per beat).
Here is the tab of the first four patterns:
