It depends upon your goals.

Jeff's advice is right on the money in your case. It is the next step after you learn the basics of technique, then you should learn songs and solos you love. Once you see how they work, you will have a way to understand how they were put together in the first place.

That will give you a basic understanding how to emulate it and thus start to do it yourself. :)

In this regard, I would go ahead and get some sheet music or books with songs by your favorite artists. But make time in your practice schedule to complete as much course material as possible. These things will only compliment and reinforce each other as you continue to work on them.

Im just struggeling a little bit with the last chapter in Rock style ...

All learning is like that. Especially guitar.

You are bound to cruise for a while and then BAM! You will hit a wall for a while. You must simply stick to it, stay on it, do what it takes for you to make the next breakthrough in your skills.

And please don't ever worry about apologizing for asking valid, good questions! You aren't wasting anyone's time (your included) since you are clearly asking good, honest questions about how to better yourself.

Best of success! Keep working hard. :)
