Along with singing the lines in my head, REALLY listening to the notes inside me has helped a lot with phrasing and melodic playing...
Another thing that helped tremendously was Kenny Werner's book, "Effortless Mastery". This really assisted trusting my own musical sense and ability to get the most out of what I have to give with the guitar...
