Yes go to lessons and click FINGER WORKOUTS!!!
That one has a bunch of workouts for your fingers to get working good.

Learn some scales - If you are rocky then you want Major and Pentatonic especially. if you are bluesy then you would want blues scales, obviously.

well just practice, see if you can find tabs for one of your favorite solos, then kinda take bits from that and kinda put them into ur own solos..
