This is a very good exercise to improve your rhythm hand coordination and accuracy, it is derived from a drum "paradiddle".

On one string use this picking pattern:

down, up, down, down, up, down, up, up.

Play this pattern in straight 8th notes or 16th notes and apply it to every string and you can finger which ever fret you want (thats where it can be fun if you start to get board). Practice to a metronome at slow tempos at first and gradually work your way up. All great things start small :)
