Hey, Paul.


I suggest continuing on with the blues licks.  Then do the CAGED lead guitar.  That way you'll continue to build your vocabulary.


After that you can work on the visualizing & triads collections.  Those have a lot of play along practicing, but they are more about systematic fretboard mapping through drills.  They are meant to help you see & understand how licks work.  And how to expand on them, manipulate them & move them around.  But it's more useful to have the licks in the first place to play music & to have something to experiment with.  


You do those in either order as they are mutually reinforcing.  In fact it might be fun to alternate between them.  Do a couple of triad tutorials, then a visualizing, repeat!


Hope that helps!
