Great plan. I have tutorials on how to cover the fretboard with diatonic major & minor scales as well. At the end of each tutorial I demo an exercise using all 12 scales that you might find useful. The first set covers one octave, the second set covers two octaves.

[quote=bross.kyle]I'm about 65% rock, 34% blues, and there's only one country artist that I care to learn most of his catalogue, so I'm listing that at 1% haha.

I'm ready to really start making licks out the scales and start playing to backing tracks, but will still work on splitting time playing rhythm.

Sounds great! When you are ready you should also start learning songs & licks by artists you enjoy. Playing rhythm is much more satisfying when you can apply it to actual song parts. And lead guitar playing requires that you have a repertoire of licks to play.

I have a lot of material that can help with that stuff, too! Let me know if you need more help. Best of success!
