help with learning some of this stuff or finding examples
Scales
Minor Pentatonic Scales – You should have these memorized and be able to play them across the neck in all keys
Major Scales – All seven scale positions in all keys
Scale Patterns – Be able to play these scales in patterns of 2’s, 3’s and 4’s forwards and backwards
Techniques
Basic Major and Minor Arpeggios – you should know three major and three minor versions
Chords
Major, Minor, and Dominant Seventh Open Form Chords – small versions located within the first four frets of the guitar usually containing open strings, you should know five voicing of each
Major and minor bar chords – both 6th and 5th string roots, these should be memorized cold across all 12 frets.
Strum Patterns – By now you should be comfortable alternate strumming with varied syncopations. Your arm is relaxed and your motions are smooth.
Theory
Key Signatures of all 15 Keys – You should know the sharps and flats that are in every key this will give you the knowledge to start writing song and creating progressions.
Chord Formulas for Major, Minor, Major 7th and Minor 7th Chords – These formulas can be used on all the 15 keys to learn the notes that make these chords, now you will be able to create your own voicing and fingerings.
The Chromatic Scale – The 12 notes that make up all music KNOW THEM COLD! Starting on any note.
Know the Names of the Notes on the Neck – Be able to play any note on the neck and say its name instantly
Lead Guitar – You should have backing tracks that you can use to play the scales listed above over and be able to create basic melodies of your own. I’m not saying you should be ripping it up yet but you should be able to create melodies.

Get a guitar teacher or a friend who's good at the guitar to teach you, then. You're pretty much shouting "TEACH ME HOW TO BE LEET AT GUITARING FOR FREE!!!" at the top of your lungs.

ABR_Composure Becomming a better guitarist
Right, the way it's written it implies someone, presumably a teacher of sorts has suggested this is where you should be right now with skill level.
Regardless, most of this stuff you find from using one website...
www.google.com
Other than that it's working at it, basically, and getting some of that fire in your belly, I recommend 'Dave's insanity sauce'.
