i would suggest
85-75: picking, shreds, licks, scales, all that jazz
15-25: rhythm
i feel rhythm is important and i feel it helps all other area's of guitar.
helps you understand what you are soloing to and things like that. you never want to exel in one area to leave another part behind. good luck in becoming the next slash man. he used to practice 8 hours a day, so you better up the dose man!
rock on

When it comes down to it, our guitar's will always be there for us. :rolleyes:
