Starting a 6 String? Need tips

I went 4 > 5 > 6. I think I might go back to 5 but the 6 is just so pretty.

The high C is fun, but it can be hard to fit in properly in the bass roll.

Suggestions is just run scale patterns that utilize the entire neck. Run a open B scale to the 23 fret on the C string. Follow? I'm sure you get it in no time.
