yes! exactly! Theres this band i like called the Big Wu, and well they have the greatest lyrics, im tellin' ya. anyways, the music is great too, but not 'too' complicated. i found a tab site for them and was like thinkin "i can do this, all of this, except where it says 'jam' because i cant make solo's up really great yet". any help on this, because the two things missing in my guitar playing are-

Solo-ing great

Jamming Great

I know for a fact that I could become a great jammer, i have jammed with my instructor a few times and it didnt sound too bad. In my opinion it was okay, but my teacher and my mom said it sounded excellent.
Solo-ing though, for a 14 year old kid, is tough. For me at least. Is it kind of like how you have to get used to it, like chords? with repetition, etc?
I can do other people's solo's real easily, but 'making my own' solos...im having difficulty with. I can play 'solos' that are based out of the scales, but i cant get them to sound GREAT. Am i trying too hard to get this perfection?
