Yes , it won't hurt. As you are mainly using chord shapes to solo, you need to be able to move easily between these shapes on the fretboard. Remember to play approach notes also -eg use a note a semi tone below the one you are heading for to create tension. You can also bend notes a semi tone below, up to the tone you want. Don't worry about speed - just embellish the melody of the tune.
