you should learn some scales first so as to increase ur finger's dexterity. Learning the scales should be a priority as this lets u know what u are playing and organise ur playing. It is also the first step in the learning the art of improvising.
And as u learn scales u can incorportate the learning of different phrasings such as bends, hammer ons, pull offs, vibrato, slides and etc. Phrasing is very important, its the phrasing that differentiates the pros from the amatuers.
Start with some simple solos first, as they are more achievable in a shorter period, and thus u will feel more rewarded, if u start with something that is too difficult, u may get intimidated and give up in frustration.
Tabs are useful, but always know what key or scale u are playing in, rather than jus playing the tabs, cos u will learn more this way as u relate ur playing.

If ur into pentatonics, try improvising on pearl jam - alive the backing track.
You can try Pink floyd - comfortably numb too. These are quite easy to improvise on. Of course you have to listen hard and get an idea of the original song 1st.
Alternatively you can try the jam track section.

he was just asking for recommendations without stating his proficiency so... well i just told him some of my favourite tracks.
But well beginners should start off with improvising on pentatonics based tracks and something slow tempo.

i think some1 might need to explain to him/her the meaning of pentatonic too. coz some1 who progresses from just a rhythm player sometimes have no idea of these unique guitar terms we often use in our daily lives like just another simple word. i guess what this person wants is a whole new introduction to how to solo n all. in-depth explanation. im no expert teacher myself so all u pros out there help this user out.
