One important part that might be overlooked is to be able to sing melodically over the backing track. This can help you tremendously. This way you are not confined to your technical abilities but your over all musical sense.

I agree with everyone, and specially with Daniel, when he states that this part is overlooked. Singing a melody is something that sounds natural to humans, and those melodies are usually a lot more natural then playing melodies on a guitar, because, as Muris said, we usually play stuff we practiced/played before, but in a different way.
So, forming a natural melody with your voice, and trying to play it on the fretboard will often require new skill of playing, because these melodies can be a lot different from what the beginner guitar players tend to practice.
