Sing a melody, nothing too long or complex at first, and then try to play it. This is the ultimate exercise as it gets right down to the essence of the whole thing, playing what you hear in your head.
I read that the guitarist from Queen constructed his solos by recording himself humming a solo over the song.. then going back and learning to play his hums on guitar....hmmmmmmmm
...same with David Gilmour, I believe. You can really tell when someone writes good lead when you can hear a song then hum the solo to yourself afterward. I'd say singing then transfering that melody to guitar enough to where you could do it on command is a really good exercise.
yea, actually I couldn't remember if it was the guy from queen or the guy from pink floyd... so it might just be david gilmour :shock:

Listen to Monte Montgomery. Amazing what he does with an acoustic.
Stay with me, safe and ignorant.
