Eh. Honestly, learning by ear shouldn't be a priority when you're first starting out. Sure, it's a good thing to do eventually, but learning and practicing something you like is a lot less frustrating than "****, as that an A? That makes the first three notes B,C,A..." Besides, if you play guitar long enough, you should be able to recognize what some notes are because you've heard them so much that you're familiar with them.
Also, being able to play steady isn't really as important for a guitarist than, say, a bassist or drummer.
Also, learn how to play the pentatonic scale. Then you can say that you can solo.
