It's getting exciting to say the least. I'm still light years away from ever improvising on the fly, but I'm beginning to "feel" where correct and applicable notes are.

Thanks. I've come up with some melodies in my head, sang them, tried them on the guitar (strumming chords) and it sounded ghastly. I know I've got to do what you said, "hear the solo and find the notes on the neck". Thanks for the reinforcement.
