Generally, the wider the grip the more focus on width and the closer the grip the more focus on thickness. Great back width exercises are:

 

1) Wide grip pull-ups - you want your grip wider than shoulder width but not too wide that you stress your shoulders

2) Wide grip cable Lat pull downs - pull to the front of the body not behind the head

3) Wide grip bent over BB rows or seated cable rows with a wide bar

4) Lying T-Bar rows using the wider handles

5) Lying dumbell pull overs

Wide grip weighted pull ups are definitely my favourite! Make sure you really control the movement by engaging your lats (as in scotts video). Also Standing rope pull overs (yes, let's call them like that.) make your lats flare out.
