I would encourage you to learn scales. I know, really boring...but awesome results! This is a method from Berklee school of music, and will allow to play whatever you hear.
My method is to learn scales up and down, as well as connecting octaves to use the full range of the fret board. After finding all of the notes in key of G, for instance start then to practice these while playing with a metronome set at minimum speed. Then begin patterns of alternating the intervals up, back down, up more, etc. When this is accomplished while counting OUT LOUD the goal is to mix up as many combinations of interval patterns, time signatures, skipping beats, crossing strings, and picking up in a different octave at the right place.
This should practiced methodically in all twelve keys. And in the seven modes.
Another very important point is to discipline your right hand technique with up and down or patterns associated with triplets, for instance. I attempt to keep my hand closed, not resting fingers on the pick guard for better speed.
Practice also chord scales, and different patterns like 1-4-5, 6-2-5-1, etc, also play the corresponding scale and mode of that chord from that place on the fret board between the chords.
Whew! Kind of long winded. Wanna play jazz?
We have quote a few lessons (from a few different instructors) on soloing / improvisation at JamPlay.com (recommended by chordie.com, check out their main page). You can view what we teach here.
Good morning Ziggy Stardust: are you a David Bowie fan? I play since years, the animals were still talking, and I can squeeze almost everything out of an acoustic and electric, and just recently, I started some (mini solo's) I have the impression that you have it or you don't have it.
I am almost 52 years old, and my style of playing can be compared to Keith Richard's style, this is for 5%, using riffs and licks. Now and then I can play some solo, but I make it more complicated where it should be easy. I LEARNED IT THROUGH TOPICS, READING CAREFULLY WHAT IS WRITTEN, I TAKE MY GUITAR, ALWAYS ONE IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD AND TRY. I learned a lot by asking about the blues scale.

Learn chords. If you know what notes are in what chords, you will have a good grasp of what notes will sound good over a progression. check out some rolling stones songs, solos don't have to be virtuoso to be awsome.
