A cool training method that helped me build better guitar solos was to pick a blues or jazz guitarist (in my case it was Grant Green), most of them on the blues side (SRV, Clapton, Muddy Waters, BB King etc.) have certain signature licks that pop up frequently in their songs. Pick one (they're usually over a 12 bar blues format) and learn it. Then learn more and paste them together. Before you know you have a full solo and you've figured out a lot of different places to go on the neck and you can do your own thing. It's sort of a Mr Miyagi method.
