A good way to start solo-ing is to memorise easy solos note for note, and then use your basic theory knowledge that you have to figure out what scale is being used. Then you will understand how the scale is applied in that particular song in that particular key.
To me, for most Rock and blues solos, they are all just cliche licks that are borrowed from many greats. Which is a good thing too if you are able to blend everything you know and mix it up and come up with something original or unconventional yet listenable.
Good luck to ya'll
