Thanks very much to everyone for all the good advice, It is true as Mac says about lead and rhythm guitars, but at the same time you hear of people who play chords for years and are not too interested in playing melodic or lead lines, whereas I once even read that BB KIng wasn't that interested in playing rhythm or didn't consider himself very good at it. My own personal view is, that a person isn't a good guitarist unless he plays good lead, wrong I know but its hearing nice lead lines, not chords thast rock my boat!

Usually I have tried to play some simple lead guitar by just playing the molody and adding a few extra notes, but have reached the conclusion this is not very effective, well for me anyways, its better to improvise around the chords and melody.

Dcuny thanks for the nice long post, some very good advice there that I will have to work through and take on board.
