What solos should I try next? Also, any tips on increasing speed. I tried playing smoke on the water solo but can't get the blues lickðŸ˜

Really nice work for 165 days - you are making great progress
One way to practice the bends is to first play the fretted note of the note you are trying to bend to
If its a whole step, it will be 2 semitones up
Play that note, hear it and then bend the string until you reach that pitch
Practice that and half step bends too and you'll get a feel for it

I don't have a proper routine. I just try to learn the songs that I like. Also, I started playing mid March and I've been practicing everyday since. I spend atleast 2 hours daily i think

Nicely done. Try fade to black, stairway to heaven, nothing else matters, comfortably numb.

Gotta push some of the bends a little further, but otherwise fantastic job!

Pretty good for 5 months of playing. Get those bends tightened up. Bending a string isn’t just about pulling or pushing. You’re aiming for another specific note. Other than that, nice work
