The minor pentatonic scale will get you soloing sooner than you think, It's a great starting point for rock/blues
solos .Here is a diagram to show the basic notes to get you
started...
The 'thick' E sting is shown at the bottom of the diagram, all you have to do is move the shape along it to suit the key you need.For instance if you want to solo over an A 12 bar blues - start at the 5th fret,D at the 10th and E sounds sexy at the 12th but can be played open also. I'm gonna post some easy but effective licks later,but in the meantime play along with some tunes (Hey Joe by Jimi soloing at the 12th is a great start) and see how ya get on
