You are grade 8 so I assume you are able to play most of the scales and chords reasonably well, technically?
Can you give me some more info. Like can you play any licks that you’ve learnt, able to string bend, vibrato etc? Is it improvising ideas that you’re struggling with rather than the ability to actually play lead parts?
What kinds of genre are you into? Any chance of some audio examples of you playing?

Thank you for responding to me quickly. I learned to play the guitar on my own before going to take music lessons. So for me it’s not a transcription problem. I can perfectly reproduce a solo that I hear by ear or know which chord is used just by listening to music. I think more like you say, it’s more a problem of improvisational ideas. I can’t build melodies that make sense in my improvisations. For the kind of music I do, pop, rock, jazz, reggae and world music. For audio currently I’m not at home and I do not have my guitar with me. As soon as it is possible I will send them to you. Do you have an e-mail address or a way to transfer it to you here?
