I'm still trying to figure out how to solo in key.
I have read other forums about soloing and im not trying to skimp in creativity i would just like to get some tips on soloing in key. I only know tabs at this point but i understand the names of chords and notes. Thanks for the help

You may not like this answer but learn scales. They're easier if you learn to read music as well as tabs. Take a look at this site: http://www.acousticguitar.com/article/148/148,6316,PRIVATELESSONS-1.asp

This guy starts with a simple arpeggio and builds it slowly from there. He includes mp3 files for each step as well as the sheet music.
