The Best Pentatonic Exercise? [Use this to MASTER the neck]

[drutgat]

I understand the idea here, and have been trying to do this for a few years, but my problem is that as soon as I try to move further up the neck (or back down), my visual image of the box I am trying to move to just disappears: I can visualize the boxes when I am moving from the low E to the high E (or vice versa), but moving laterally flumoxes me. I can learn set patterns of moving laterally, but that does not allow me to picture the whole box that the notes I am playing come from.
Jon, do you have any suggestions to help me?

I printed the Fretboard Guide. Will start with the first Major Pentatonic Scale today. My goal is to play beginner level full fretboard in 6 months.
I play acoustic rhythm R&B, Motown, Blues and a few old Pop, folk and country.
I Plan to report back here in about 7 months.
Would be good to hear back from others on where they're at and where they are headed.
