Without it, you can't get anything interesting going and you'll find everything you play will sound pretty samey. Also, I'm guessing based on experience that you could do with slowing down. If you've got a backing track in Am, try just holding the notes for longer and adding vibrato... maybe slide into them etc... Don't go for speed, go for taste and build from there...
Try playing through the scale slowly as well - you'll like some intervallic sounds better than others.... maybe you'll find you like minor 6th's - so start using them.
Final thought for now - try playing notes or licks in a higher octave... so maybe after a full tone bend from the 7th fret of the G string, do it again from the 10th fret of the E. And don't be afraid to screw up... some of the coolest things I've ever done started as 'mistakes'...
