I tend to struggle with chord progressions in general. My lead guitar playIng is better than my rhythm.

To understand the connection between chords and scales I recommend Mel Bay "Guitar Fringerboard Harmony" (or a similar book) I think that is a good place to start.
Each genre has its own style of playing rhythm so I wouldn't know where to begin. But if you want a good example on how to voice chords differently using the same chord progression and vary the way chords played check out Jimi Hendrix - Wind Cries Mary.
good luck!
