Quote:

I want to learn lead guitar mainly country but other styles as well. I know quite a few scales but the problem is playing the right notes in the right place at the right time

What I do try to do is play the notes of whatever chord it is in the melody, usually on the downbeat of the song, which I think sounds not too bad for major scales, but I don't know what notes of the blues scale should fit certain chords?

The guitar window in bandn a box and a few of the realtrack guitar soloists like Brent Mason seem a good way to pick up a few licks. Has anyone tried this or other good ways to learn rather than just listening to songs?

thanks for any advice.

"Transcribe, transcribe, transcribe!"

One does not have to be a chart reader in order to transcribe the recorded works of others, although it may help in some instances. What is more important is that you go through the drill of finding out what is in that recording that really strikes you, note-for-note, and then [i[internalizing it through repetition.

Transcribing starts out unbearingly slow, but each time you repeat the process on something new the process gets to be faster and faster.

Along with the rote memory of this process you must also use the chord changes within that target piece to analyze what the leadlines were playing over the chords. This is where things will start to make sense as snippets of things that you will find can be used again and again in other places.

The BiaB stuff represents yet another place to find things to transcribe, sure. If you really like it, take the time to LEARN it, wherever it comes from.
