The Style courses introduce the basics of lead playing. So you might find what you need there if you are still working through the basics.

[quote=robscarveles]For example, if I am playing an open E, then I would essentially insert a lead line within the notes associated with the open E.

If you are just getting started then I recommend this series of tutorials on the basics of combining rhythm & lead skills.

Start with Series 1 & 2.

If you already have some of the skills required (understanding basic scales, playing single note lines), then this collection of tutorials will show you how to improvise. They start simple & basic, but get into more advanced ideas quickly. So that might fit your criteria for a complete course from beginner to advanced.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have more questions!
