HaHaHa, @Cadgirl , I love your rambling. You are on the right path for sure. I’m not a fan of bluegrass, but it has a definite technique and sound so that you can hear that and develop that. And there’s so many genres you could play if you can play bluegrass.
Anyway, figuring out melodies is a great thing to do for your musicality and guitar journey. But figuring them out by ear is the best way to do it. @jumpinjeff talked about repetition above, and I think that’s one of the 2 most important things. The other is training your ear to hear the music. So I love what you are doing.
And on top of all that, trying to figure out bluegrass by ear will supercharge your knowledge of the fretboard. And playing 10 songs from memory? You got it, Denise. It won’t take as long as you might think. Great goals.
