For soloing, I recommend first getting comfortable with some basic musical phrasing using just a few notes at a time, which is what my "Soloing for Complete Beginners" course is all about.

After that, master the 2.5 main shapes of the pentatonic scale. Watch that video lesson here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Dh8aGffCaI

After that, learn how to apply it in any key, major or minor, with this lesson:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suhPR7YIkGo&t=2s

Then learn how to connect those shapes with some other hot spots in the remaining shapes using the 2x2 method lesson here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdQUlSmDqhs&t=4s

From there, you can add the remaining notes to make diatonic scales, and of course the blue note, especially for blues! My free PDF above of the pentatonic scales has the blue note included.

Here is a FREE color coded .pdf of the diatonic scales, including the Major and Minor scale and all of the modes: https://powmusic.lpages.co/the-5-shapes-and-7-modes-of-the-major-scale/

All that being said, the #1 method for becoming a proficient improvisor and soloist on guitar is to transcribe music by ear and then take those ideas and make them your own. After you learn something by ear, you then want to understand what it is - what is the context? Then you'll know when to apply it, and how to expand upon it. If you're just starting out, you can just learn a few riffs you like, figure out what scale/key/chord etc is associated with the riff (context) and then workshop that riff! Make it your own - use it as a motif, and build a whole solo around it!!
