So I've reached the unhappy conclusion that I don't really make music on the guitar, instead opting to just noodle around the fretboard with half arsed blues/rock licks. Often to my shame without much thought to playing in time. I don't even lay down some chords and play over the changes, just mess around with the pentatonic. I do know a fair few fragments of songs and solos but I never play a song all the way through. Can anyone recommend songs that suit learning on electric guitar? To give you an idea of my level I guess I'm around Lee Anderton's standard, I can do a decent rendition of little wing intro and other hendrix in that style like wind cries mary and soloing wise I do a respectable black magic woman. So nothing shred!

@Modmins - this is not me under another user ID, honest.
I can't even play Black Magic Woman.
Welcome, @bloomer!
What music do you like? Zeppelin? AC/DC? ZZ Top? SRV? Any of the Kings? Clapton? Tons of stuff and just a case of finding what appeals to you
@handwrittenhero, sounds like you have a good system going there starting off with a skeleton of the song and filling it out, gets you playing an actual recognisable song right away, I'll try doing that with the bits and pieces I know. btw this guy does some good and pretty accurate covers if you're learning hendrix: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5G7VFGt9QDYExWEZ_6MbLg
Have you considered going a band? Covers if you’re not into making original stuff?
Tis witchery!!
Lee Anderton’s good.
You’re probably good.
Don’t worry about it. Play with other people. Enjoy the freedom of expression, you’ll learn stuff through that and through having to eventually. I find the imposition of disciplined learning takes the fun out of it but I can also see why most people think it’s worth the effort.
