Then you’ll probably find it rewarding to study scales. Playing lead is a lot easier than it looks. I mean, don’t start with a Van Halen solo, but don’t feel intimidated by anything easier than that. Mike’s post (#3) shows you one of the “blues boxes” (there are four more), blues and pentatonic scales/boxes are essentially the same and so are major and minor scales, and every box has a major/minor scale running through it. So, learn all of that, learn the right way to use a pick if you play with one, and learn how to bend strings (with help from other fingers). Then, when you get tired of that, take up fingerstyle and come back here to show us what you can do!
