You are so young you've got plenty of time to take over the world. And if you work on it, I've seen people become really good players in a short amount of time. Just apply yourself. Age has nothing to do with anything. I know that your into punk but if you want a good foundation in your soloing go to blues tricks, I submitted a lead course for beginners it applys to everything from jazz to metal. It could point you in a direction. I've been in every type of band they is and used the things showed in the lesson in everone, and it's free. And this website is the greatest, you can find almost anything you need here. I've been running around in here for about a week, and with all these fresh outlooks has effected my playing beyond belief, so dig around you'll get there.
