The best way I think I can say it is that you have to look at it as telling a story, but to do so first you have to learn to speak…

Pick up little phrases and licks from other players that you really like and fits the style of music you play… for every lick or phrase that you steal/learn then it’s like learning a new word to add to your vocabulary. At first it’s hard to “hold a conversation” with your solo if you only know a couple “words” but just keep practicing them and learning to apply them to every key. Get to really know the ones you do so you’re solid and confident with them. As time passes and you add more “words” one by one you’ll find that you have a lot more to say.

At first every thing is pretty much going to be repetitive, but remember when you 1st started learning to play guitar it was repetitive playing the same bloddy song over and over and over agai. This is no different but the best thing is that you have a lot more skill now then when you first started learning.

Added to this, just to get things started for yourself, it might be a good idea to steal/learn a solo note for note that you like. This way you get a good feel of how everything flows together. Also you’ll be able to steal a couple licks from within the solo (have to start somewhere). Once you have that solo down and feeling comfortable about it, and you’re learning new phrases and licks, you can adapt them and start fitting them into this solo. This 12 bar solo will eventfully be clocking over 8 minutes.

Hopefully this is what you’re asking
