Why learning guitar solo is so hard for me?

I have to learn the guitar like 8 months. I can very well play the most agreements now. Except a little difficulty on the bar code. I can not play the guitar just by listening to the rhythm of the song. Now I have a problem for me to move to the next level, as part of the solo guitar / finger picking, songs like dust in the wind and Greensleeves still seems so difficult for me on my acoustic guitar. What I can do is just scratch, as scratching my model is not very creative, kind of the same pattern with most of the time. Is it because I do not read music and that's why I can not learn as quickly as others, do you learn the guitar is blindly fine, just remember the chords? What should I do to resolve. I really hope someday I can play Canon in D, tears in heaven, stairway skyward, and California hotel with my acoustic guitar. Please advice, your advice will be appreciated!

Firstly, learn to read music is a real shortcut in the mind of another player. This player may be a thousand miles away, dead and buried, or may speak a language totally different from what you do, but if you can read notation, you can understand what he or she tries to show you. Secondly, learning to read music is like learning to read. You may be the greatest storyteller int he world, but only a few thousand people will hear your stories while you are alive and when you die, even those who remember your stories will begin to change as needed, or because they can not remember exactly how you told them. If you learn to read and write, however, you may notice that these stories down and they will last as it is published a copy of a book you have written. It worked well enough to Willie Shakespeare, and it worked fairly well for Woodie Guthrie and Stephen Foster. I used to be invited to sit in garage bands when I was young. The first Sometimes I want to show, all eager to jam with musicians who cares enough about their art to invest much time in it. Some nights to pay more three or four songs, or repeat the same mistakes again and still I was a little less enthusiastic. So I asked to sub for a keyboard player in a workgroup. We went through the whole book, and hit the problem areas during recording, Mike. Whenever this group met, they would go through at least twenty or thirty songs and they were fussy. The conductor dropped the book off for me to watch through and told me that the songs would make me the most problems. When I introduced myself to repeat, I was given some more stuff, then we are inside. The other members were polite, but you could say I made some stupid mistakes immediately. I tightened my focus and dug in. At the end of the evening we were good freinds and when I did the concert with them, it was a little hairy, but I really feel that they their backs. I was lucky to see a few weeks later they called me over to sit in a set. It was a real honor, although it is probably because the original keyboard player wanted a chance to dance with one of the bosses. When I committed to play for the band army, it was not because I was the next Clapton! Because I could read music and go through a rehearsal without wasting time. Notation is the language of music and if you really want to be a well rounded musician, you would do a great service if you were to explore This accessible and very international language. Whatever you decide, I wish you good luck and hope you achieve all your ambitions.
