It sounds before you work on learning solos or licks you'll need to practice basic techniques like playing single note lines. All the things you listed (chords & triads) involved strumming more than one string at a time.

Soloing requires a lot of isolating one note at a time, on one string at a time. The Blues course has exercises for that, but you might want to spend some time with basic scale exercises also.
