The Rock course will give you lots of general instruction in the art of lead playing. Anders does a great job! Since you already play you might already know a lot of the material, but it's always a good idea to take a refresher & review material you thought you already knew in order to gain a more thorough understanding or a new perspective.

Chapters 2 & 4 focus a lot on lead playing. Feel free to skim through until something new or interesting comes up. Hope this helps! Best of success!
