There are so many little things that goes into solos and you're only a beginner. Did your teacher say you could do it when you presented it to him or her? If so, he or she has to help you out by tabbing it out for you and going over everything: you can't figure it out on your own. That's why you're taking lessons, to learn. It doesn't sound like your teacher is doing a good job. That solo is tough, and learning a solo after only playing for 8 months is impossible (unless you’re a prodigy).
