I don't know where to make this post ( so I'm sorry if I post it on the wrong section )

Hello! I've made a post before about how I'm tracking my progress to keep myself motivated (back when I was at 65 Hours in), on top of that I've made a blog so I can write about my progress and post some covers that I've learned.

My blog is : https://justcallmekeys.code.blog/

This journey has been super fun and going from knowing nothing about Guitars to at least play somewhat ok makes me really happy.

Now onto the problems;

Back when I made my first I was told that I should check the lessons of Christopher Schlegel on Improvisation for Beginnners. Problem is that at the moment that seems a bit advanced for me since I only know some licks as I'm right now on "Rock Style 1 - Chapter 4: Riffs, Licks and Themes".

My problem is that while I've learned some licks, I cannot for some reason modify them, I try to but they just sound off, I try different combinations or trying to hit some same notes and more but whatever I do it just sounds really bad or it makes all my solos sound the same.

Another problem I have is sometimes I have some ideas in my mind on licks but I cannot translate them into the Guitar so I try to find them by hitting note per note.

I've been trying to play using a lot the backing tracks but for making solos I just cannot simple make it and is frustrating.

I will try to record myself later to give an example on what I'm trying to say.

Some help would be nice! Thank you.
