Attempting to tackle Modes at this point would be like learning "Smoke on the Water" today and "Crazy Train" tomorrow. When the basics become natural and are executed with ease, your foundation becomes stronger to build on.
Applying triplet or "quad" riffs as Paul mentioned, require focus and mechanics added to simple Pentatonic patterns. These riffs are played in sequence. Try this riff Starting @ Low E 5th fret; E5-E8-E5-E8-a5-E8-a5/a7-a5-a7-d5-a7-d5/d7-d5-d7-g5-d7-g5/g7-g5-g7-b5-g7-b5/b8-b5-b8-e5. Good alt. picking exercise as well starting with a down stroke then up, etc.
