When you say you study Em and Am, what do you mean? I learned to use the pentatonic and the blues scale by just learning licks and improvising. Earlier this year I was learning how to improvise with the C Major scale by sticking to the notes of the corresponding scale. But this was during winter, and I had to walk 6 blocks to and from the bus each way, which came like every hour. So fukk that.
I learned a lot of AC/DC and Led Zeppelin songs, mainly by tabs, but don't underestimate tabs. If they are wrong and you have to figure stuff out (sometime they are VERY wrong) they still point you in the right direction and develop your ear. I would mainly transcribe video game music (very melodic) or old school hard rock (epik riffz). Or songs that I absolutely couldn't find tabs on.
