you will NEED to know how to read tab. when you have the scale down find out what chords go well with it by using the notes in the scale to make them obviously A Minor would be a good chord i’d use the Barre version. when you know the scale like the back of your hand you can learn to play the notes in different orders and time length’s and work it into a solo. try to play the scale at 90 beats per minute then build up faster (you may need to start lower than 90) because timing is everything in guitar. Add hammer on’s and pull offs to your solo’s to make them more interesting.
I’m a musician with many years of experience under my belt, and I can tell you without hesitation that the absolute best way to turn into the strongest musician you can be on any instrument is to start classical. It may not be what you want to hear (wasn’t what I wanted to hear either) and it will take time (another thing that most people don’t want to deal with) but in the end you will come out far better and more talented than you ever could have been otherwise.
