In this video, Berklee Online guitar instructor John Baboian teaches you how to get across the neck of your guitar, using intervals of 4ths. As with playing between any intervals, the goal is to create a smooth connection between the two notes, without the two notes running into each other. This comes with practice, and in this video, John gives you several exercises that you can practice to get better at playing 4ths.

Practicing scales makes you better at playing seconds... Practicing arpeggios makes you better at playing thirds... Mind... Blown. :)
