Well, recently I have just learned to solos. One from the song Trying my luck and the other called Reptilia (both by The Strokes, and I must say I am proud 8) ) But then I got to thinking...I only know one chord, and I spend most of my time learning songs or trying to make them up...am I heading in the wrong direction by not learning chords or other simple techniques first?

try to learn all the basic chords, then go to the major and minor pentatonic scales and the blues scales 8)

I would say that if you're happy with what you're playing and your progress, you can't possibly be doing something wrong.

Any structured guitar-learning programme should include both rhythm and lead, so apart from getting afew more chords nailed I'd carry on the way you are.

Best,
