Schmange and I are working on a "curriculum" that starts at the beginning and goes thru a lot of material from the site. We recognize that the amount of material here is slightly overwhelming.

It sounds like you are beyond our target for the beginner curriculum. I would think you could kind of dive in.

One approach would be to go thru tutorials only instead of individual lessons. Tutorials force you to focus. You could do only "rock" tutorials or only "easy" tutorials.

Another approach would be to pick an instructor and go thru all that instructor's lessons. This will keep you from dabbling (doing slide one day, fingerpicking the next, sweep picking the next).

Definitely memorizing a lead scale is important. If you like rock music, pentatonic is the basic scale to know.

Hope this helps!
