I have the same problem, I can't solo. I'm trying to learn as many scales as I can so I can go to a teacher and say "this is what I know, show me how to use it". But I like the idea of actually learning different solos. I would think that I should learning the song first and reconizing what key it is in before I learn the solo. Then how hard is it to transpose those licks to different songs I learn in different keys?
