Many thanks for the additions, Hanspeter! All this stuff and your private lessons will by all means take me busy for a while

On workdays 1-2 hours On weekends 2-3 hours (probably even more, but 2-3 hours for sure). Short term goals: To be able to play Oye Como Va from Santana, Learn major and minor triads; Learn where to find the blue note of the blues scale all over the fretboard in several keys. Learn more minor scales positions and know how and when to use it. Long term goals: To get a good expression in a Rock & Blues context; To be flexible on any speed and any form of blues and rock and have a freedom on improvisation over the whole fretboard; To become as well a well-rounded rhythm player (Rock, Blues and Funk); Last but not least I want to be able to write good songs. Practice plan on workdays (approximate timing) 10-15 min. warm up with minor scale / blues scale patterns 10-15 min. work on expression tools like vibrato, bending, harmonics etc. short break 15-20 min. work on Oye como va short break 15-20 min. common chord progressions in triads short break 15-20 min. jamming over a backing track Practice plan on weekends (approximate timing) 10-15 min. warm up with minor scale / blues scale patterns 10-15 min. work on expression tools like vibrato, bending etc. short break 15-20 min. work on Oye como va short break 15-20 min. common chord progressions in triads short break 15-20 min. jamming over a backing track long break 10-15 min. rhythm training (take a song and try to emulate the drums/beat with guitar) short break 10-15 min. exercises in order to get a wider finger stretch range on the fretboard (e.g. so called Andy Summers chords, rhythm & blues chord changes) 15-20 min. music theory short break 15-20 min. jam along with a song I like Well, this i my approximate current plan, any suggestions, especially from Hanspeter , are welcomed.
