[(Don't)Lie_to_me]

I've been playing sice i was 12, and my main advice would be don't aim too high.

Don't learna few chords, the odd riff etc, and then sit down with Stairway To Heaven and expect to hit it. Build up through simpler songs, get used to a lot of chords including the less obviuos ones like Dsus4, F7#9. Once you can remember plenty of chords then you can start to learn songs with more than 10-15 chords in them. This variety will feel good.

After thet you can spread into lead stuff, like soloing, learning scales, hammer on and pull-offs, harmonics etc. But all the single note stuff is much hrader than rythm, so riffing and chord contsrtruction is what you should concentrate on in my opinion.

I still almost never, after 14 years, solo or improvise on a scale. I dont find it anything like as satisfying as holding up the structure of the songs with chords.
